Apparent divinity of blueberries

[MattC]

While I'd like to think that one of my favorite foods could have this many benefits, this article sets off a lot of warning bells due to the wildly positive language it employs: http://www.prevention.com/health/nutrition/food-remedies/blueberries-a-healthy-food/article/e96b323b0b803110VgnVCM20000012281eac____/

I'm hoping some of the medical people here can provide a better perspective on how blueberries benefit the diet, this article's invocation of "free radicals" seems far too... shady... for me to think it's playing fair.

Yeah, that and the exclamation points in the article!!!!1!

I've read a few recent issues of that magazine, and that's pretty much par for the course.

Many of their articles seem to be geared at scientifically illiterate people who are only interested in easy fixes, not actual behavioral change, and like to look at pretty pictures and fonts.:D
