Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Did you know that blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries contain plant nutrients known as anthocyanidins, which are powerful antioxidants? Well, they do, and this is good news because berries are delicious and readily available in both the fresh and frozen food sections of most stores. Of major importance, blueberries rival grapes in concentrations of resveratrol – the antioxidant compound found in red wine that's been getting a lot of publicity for awhile now. Recent research suggests that resveratrol helps protect against heart disease and cancer. So the next time you're at the grocery, buy some blueberries and start eating a cup of them every day Suzi List Owner health What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.
