Scientists have discovered many health benefits from eating blueberries. They are one of the richest sources of antioxidants of the fruits and vegetables that have been studied. Antioxidants are responsible in part for keeping us healthily and young. They help fight cell damaging "free radicals". Free radicals are unstable substances that our bodies produce as we get older. They damage human cells and our DNA. US scientists have shown that the antioxidants contained in Blueberries help to slow th ageing process and reduce the risk of cancer.

The antioxidants are contained in "Anthocyanins" (Greek word meaning "plant" and "blue") these are the reason why Blueberries are Blue ! They are responsible for the Blue colour of the fruit. Strawberries and Spinach also contain high levels of antioxidants.

Chemical studies in the US by the Agricultural Research Service have very recently revealed that Blueberries (as well as strawberries and raspberries) contain chemicals that decreased the growth of cervical and breast cancer cells by a considerable percentage.

Blueberries have also found to contain resveratrol, another potential anti-cancer agent.

Blueberries have also shown to not only halt the ageing process but actually reverse it ! Experiments have also indicated that eating Blueberries improves short term memory loss and improves balance and co-ordination.

[Hey Hey]

I could list a thousand other natural products and natural processes that produce all of the effects in the list above. Just a few for now ..

pregnancy can cause hemorrhoids
standing up in the morning does increase systolic blood pressure
peanuts can cause food allergy
living a long life will cause aging
tiredness can cause drowsiness and decreased activity in children
oranges will produce a transient reduction in saliva pH

This list contains items that must have been in the box that religion was delivered in:

Sugar can cause multiple sclerosis - what rubbish. Absolutely no evidence.
Sugar can cause Candida albicans (yeast infections.) - rubbish. Fungal infections are caused by fungi. Almost all microbiologists agree that thrush is due to a change in the balance of yeasts and bacteria, for example when antibiotics inhibit bacteria and the normally modulated coexisting yeast population then proliferates.

This is ridiculous. I'm not going to waste any more time responding to such an unscientific posting, comprising anecdotes, bias, subjectiveness, unproven statements and occasional lunacy.

And it all started out so well with those wonderful blueberries. Give them and inch ...
