According to the Daily Mail Blueberries protect against Colon Cancer
The Daily Mail have discovered the wonders of blueberries. I really love that musty blueberry flavour and am not at all surprised that it has become a really popular berry for us over the last couple of years. My Swedish friend, Eva, tells me that blueberries have always been really popular in Scandinavia, whereas they have been rather overlooked here, even though they grow wild in many places. The report in the Daily Mail stated that these juicy fruits contain a compound called pterostilbene which could help prevent cancer. I’m always very hesitant to hail such claims, but reasearchers are stating that the compound in the blueberries inhibits inflammation to such an extent they may make it into a preventative pharmaceutical pill for colon cancer. Well until then let us just enjoy the real little berries from the freezer as they are not in season at the moment. Blueberries are available in jars, dried, frozen, or as juice.
