Wild Blueberries Take Top Spot in New Antioxidant Research Study
Date:10/8/2008

nding the test to include more fruits, we found that Wild Blueberries had the highest antioxidant activity, with other berries and pomegranates also showing strong performance. While further testing is needed to confirm how dietary antioxidants are absorbed by and go to work in the human body to prevent cancer and other chronic diseases, we're encouraged by the response in this initial screening measure," said Dr. Liu.

Wild Blueberry Association Nutrition Advisor Susan Davis, M.S., R.D. advises choosing brightly colored fruits and vegetables with an emphasis on berries. According to Davis, berries are naturally rich in anthocyanins, protective plant compounds responsible for the deep blue color of fruits like Wild Blueberries. Anthocyanins have potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and are being studied for their possible preventative role in fighting cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and other effects of aging.

"The CAA assay results present more evidence that antioxidant-rich foods like Wild Blueberries, when eaten as part of a well-balanced diet, have the potential to reduce chronic disease risk and promote healthy aging," said Davis. The USDA recommends between 1 to 2 1/2 cups of fruit per day depending on age, gender and activity level. According to the USDA, just 1/2 cup of fruit delivers one fruit serving. "Look for Wild Blueberries in the frozen fruit section of your local supermarket. Frozen fruit is just as nutritious as fresh, and gives you the added convenience of having great tasting fruit on-hand every day. Just toss a half-cup onto your cereal, whip up a smoothie or enjoy them right out of the bag," continued Davis. For more easy usage and recipe ideas visit http://wildblueberries.com/recipes.
