[QUOTE="DCUK NewsBot, post: 2051605, member: 106455"] Blueberries are the subject of two studies investigating the health properties of the fruit for reducing heart disease risk and its impact on physical activity. In one study, yet to be conducted, scientists at the University of East Anglia in Norwich plan to assess if health markers linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes could be affected by eating blueberries. Professor Aedin Cassidy, from the Department of Nutrition at UEA's Norwich Medical School, said: "Large scale studies have shown that eating blueberries and anthocyanins - a naturally occurring flavonoid and the compound responsible for the blue colour of blueberries - can reduce the risk of developing heart disease and [type 2] diabetes.
