How Beer Saved the World http://forums.mvgroup.org/release.images/Harry65/Beer%202.jpg  Technology Documentary hosted by Henry Strozier, published by Discovery Channel in 2011 - English narration Information ------------------------------ How Beer Saved the World "This show is a must watch for beer enthusiasts," said Dornbush. "People have always benefited from beer, from the Sumerians and Egyptians, to the American Revolution; from the brewing techniques that ensured potable beer (as opposed to contaminated water) in the Middle Ages, to the evolution of microbiology, zillions of lives have been saved because of beer." 1) How Beer Saved the World Did you know that beer was critical to the birth of civilization? Or that it played a crucial role in the building of the pyramids, the founding of America, the Industrial Revolution and advancements in medicine? That's right - beer. Scientists and historians line up to tell the amazing, untold story that puts beer at the centre of the human civilization. Until almost modern times, it wasn't just a drink-beer was vital to life. Where water contained deadly bacteria, beer was safe, as the fermentation killed the germs. It was drunk by men, women and children for a large period of time, and inspired great moments in human history. Beer was vital to the birth of America from the moment the Mayflower stopped in Plymouth - find out why!

Very amusing but I think some of it is tongue-in-cheek. The plow was invented by the Chinese and brought to Europe. Now you could argue the Chinese started with beer too...  |
