Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Very interesting article I received. Marianne Can you guess which fruit is one of the healthiest? Sure, you can go on squeezing those oranges and munching those apples. But if you're after one of the best disease-fighting foods in the garden, look no further than the bright red cranberry. A new study (published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society) finds that out of the 19 most commonly-consumed fruits, cranberries contain the highest quantity of disease-fighting phenols, a type of antioxidant believed to reduce the risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease. Researchers have known for years that cranberries are high in antioxidants and that they also help prevent urinary tract infections and may reduce the risk of gum disease, stomach ulcers and cancer. But this is the first study to detail their beneficial phenol content. So don't wait for Thanksgiving to relish this red relish. And start sipping 100 percent pure cranberry juice now -- add a splash of apple juice to soften the tartness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just add a small handful to fruit smoothies. No added sugar or corn sweeteners that way. I am keeping my eyes peeled for straight frozen cranberry juice concentrate with no water & no other juices or sweeteners. My freezer is small & I suspect I will run out of cranberries by late Spring. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 --- marianne and Jean, Apple & Eve is a healthy brand. " After the Fall " is an excellent brand available in many HFSs, although it's sort of pricey at times. Any frozen unpastuerized brands free of sugar or artifical sweeteners will suffice. The sugar-laden varieties and pasteurization process (which depletes nutrients) tends to promote disease and robs your bodies of vital nutrients. sugar depletes your body of B-vitamin stores. fresh is best both for enzyme content and beneficial nutrients (OPCs) JoAnn Guest joguest Friendsforhealthnaturally http://canceranswer.homestead.com/AIM.html gemno@a... wrote: > In a message dated 2/6/02 3:35:09 AM Eastern Standard Time, > marianne2406@a... writes: > > << So don't wait for > Thanksgiving to relish this red relish.
