Cherries

[Guest guest]

Thought you would find this interesting

Testing on Cherries and their anti-inflammatory properties has been done

on Montmorency Tart Cherries. Make sure your Cherry Juice Concentrate is

68 Brix (soluble solid content, the amount of water removed). This is

the highest concentration available. Daily consumption of one ounce

of *Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice* *Concentrate* is the easiest way to

enjoy all of the health benefits of Tart Cherries. Medical research has

shown Tart Cherries to contain anti-inflammatory compounds. Many people

are reporting arthritis, gout and fibromyalgia relief from taking Tart

Cherry Juice Concentrate. One of the most researched aids for *GOUT* is

Cherries. *GOUT* is caused by the build up of uric acid in the blood

stream and eventually the joints. Gout is a type of arthritis

(inflammation of the joints) that mostly affects men age 40 and older.

It is nearly always associated with an abnormally high concentration of

uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is produced in the liver and enters

the bloodstream. Under certain circumstances, the body produces to much

uric acid or excretes to little. As uric acid concentrations increase,

needle like crystals of a salt called monosodium urate (MSU) form. In

time, MSU crystals accumulate and cause inflammation and pain, symptoms

typical of gout. Cherries contain flavonoid compounds that can lower

uric acid and reduce inflammation, so cherry juice concentrate can

be effective in reducing the pain associated with gout. *Recent studies

also show that the antioxidant compounds in Cherries may be 10 times

stronger than Aspirin or Ibuprofen in relieving arthritic pain.* In

addition, Tart Cherries contain Melatonin which helps with the bodies

sleep rhythms and Perillyl alcohol, thought to shut down the growth of

cancer cells by depriving them of the proteins they need to live.

This is the website: sorry I don't know how to turn this into a link.

any suggestions?

Ok ladies and gentlemen, I have a question. I've never really cared for cherries

but now find that their isn't really nothing I don't like anymore. The hubby

picked up some whole cherries the other day that are soooo good. I froze some

for smoothies not even realizing they had pits. Yea, I know, but I've never

liked them. My question is, can you blend those? I've read they were toxic and

we all know I don't need that but other sites say they are ok. Any thoughts?
