Does anyone eat these? I've heard that blueberries are good for retinopathy.

I would have thought that berries would have put the BS up but I suppose they aren't as sweet as some things

Could just be a coincidence but I've eating blueberries with my morning porridge for the last 2-3 years and have been given the all-clear each time I attend my Ophthalmology appointment, before then I was taking a Bilberry extract but thought eating fresh berries was a better alternative. Search Google for the health benefits of blueberries and you'll find some excellent reading!

It certainly does make interesting reading but how believable are a lot of these sites? Is there any really good academic reserach done on them? Sorry to be such a skeptic it's just you never know on the internet :sick:
