“A research ethics committee at the National Institutes of Health told Buck he couldn’t experiment on himself by drinking the beer.”

This just in: the NIH is against fun.

On a similar note, some years, ahem decades, back I had come across a probiotic yeast called S. boulardii. It was a tad bit expensive, which got me thinking, “how do they make this stuff, anyway?” It’s yeast, and I know yeast love to grow on sugar. Thus was born probiotic hard cider. And there was much rejoicing!
