Ananova:

A beer that can help prolong life and prevent illness has been created - the only problem is it tastes awful.

BioBeer has been genetically-modified by students in Texas. It is brewed using a chemical called resveratrol.

The same chemical is found in red wine and is thought to help prevent heart disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's.

But researcher Thomas Segall-Shapiro told The Sun: "No way would anyone drink this until it tastes better."
