Recent UC Davis Study Finds Strawberries May Reduce Risk of Heart Disease

Date:12/16/2008

ion, Dr. Burton-Freeman said, "Strawberries contain a variety of bioactive compounds that can promote longevity and quality of life. For humans, these compounds can act as antioxidants, serve as anti-inflammatory agents, improve cell to cell communication, cause cancer cells to die, detoxify carcinogens -- a number of benefits consistent with health and disease risk reduction."

She ended by saying, "Strawberries present a wonderful opportunity to achieve a higher quality of life, so we can live well at all ages -- providing a foundation for youth, but also as we move into our older years considering ways in which we can age in the healthiest way possible."

Strawberries not only taste great, but research now further shows that they are good for your heart, blood vessels and support a healthy blood pressure. They also contain vitamin C, folate, potassium and fiber. Visit http://www.calstrawberry.com for more information about the health benefits of strawberries.
