Mesothelioma compensation and resveratrol beer

Tragically, many of the thousands of people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year will have spent decades worrying that they might develop the disease at some point in their lives. And, although most will be able to claim mesothelioma compensation, the progress of the disease is usually so swift that they will have little time left before mesothelioma completes its deadly course.

It is this knowledge of exposure that can cause families years of distress and uncertainty; even former asbestos workers who do not go on to develop any illness must live the duration of their lifespan with the knowledge that they have a significant chance of developing a fatal asbestos-related illness.

As such, any pharmaceutical substance that can help reduce the risk of exposure-related cancers is welcome. In 2009 scientists continued work on the chemical resveratrol, which, in certain studies has been shown to reduce the rates of cancer in laboratory animals.

As an organic compound, resveratrol offers hope and, as well as having been tested on animals, is already taken as a supplement by some people, particularly in France, where it has been linked with reduced rates of cancer and heart disease.

Interestingly, during October of 2009, a group of graduate students at Rice University announced that they planned to brew beer using a genetically modified strain of yeast that, during the fermentation process, is also able to produce resveratrol.

Unfortunately, partly because of technical difficulties in getting the beer approved for consumption, the researchers say "it will be a long time before anybody consumes any of this." However, should it find its way onto supermarket shelves, personal injury solicitors can only hope it reduces the rate of mesothelioma compensation litigation.
