Blueberries show promise in protecting heart
Sunday, January 30th, 2011Blueberries could strengthen blood vessels against oxidative stress that may lead to heart disease, says new research – news that could boost already impressive sales.
The results of the new study, published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry(Vol 17, pp 109-116), add to the other reports in the literature linking the berry to lowering cholesterol, and protecting against cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Blueberry boom in Britain driven by health benefits
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011Sales of blueberries in the UK have rocketed over the last year as consumers seek the health benefits recently linked to the fruit.
The country’s leading retailer Tesco says that blueberry sales have risen by 185 per cent since last September and are growing month by month.
Last summer scientists from the US Agricultural Research Service revealed that a compound found in blueberries called pterostilbene, similar to resveratrol, could be as effective as a widely used synthetic drug in reducing cholesterol.
Fruit antioxidant, the next cholesterol-lowering ingredient?
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011A berry compound, already shown to have cancer-fighting properties, may be as effective as a widely used synthetic drug in reducing lipids, according to a study on rats.
The compound pterostilbene has the potential to be developed into a nutraceutical for lowering cholesterol, particularly for those who do not respond well to conventional drugs used for this purpose, say the researchers.
Omega-3 may protect against traumatic brain injury: Rat study
Thursday, January 20th, 2011Supplements of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexanoic acid) may prevent traumatic brain injury, according to a new study with rats with potential implications for sportsmen and soldiers.
The data must translate from rodents to humans. Such a study is already underway in North Carolina.
Researchers from West Virginia University report that rats who received the highest dose of DHAsupplementation prior to traumatic brain injury experienced the least amount of tissue damage.
Grape Ingredient Resveratrol Stimulates ‘Starvation Hormone’ Adiponectin Production
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011Resveratrol, a compound in grapes, stimulates the expression of adiponectin, a hormone that modulates metabolic processes such as glucose regulation and fatty acid catabolism, according to a new study published this week.
ERK activation by the polyphenols fisetin and resveratrol provides neuroprotection in multiple models of Huntington’s disease.
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited, progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by psychiatric, cognitive and motor symptoms. Among the pathways implicated in HD are those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling and particularly the Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade
Resveratrol properties for fighting obesity have been found by researchers.
Monday, December 20th, 2010Scientists have discovered the health compound, a polyphenol, found in grapes stimulates an important fat regulating hormone known as adiponectin that is linked to obesity.
The hormone has many health benefits, some of which have recently been discovered. Adiponectin stimulates appetite, helps control blood sugar levels and is found to be lower in obese individuals
