‘Did We Forget About Cranberries?’- http://www.laurelonhealthfood.com, 23/09/08
The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has published research that confirmed that cranberries are packed with antioxidants.
I often drink cranberry juice in the mornings and had read the packaging that said ‘full of vitamin C and anti-oxidants’, so this wasn’t surprising news for me. ‘Study author Professor Joe Vinson from the University of Scranton says that “one serving of cranberries provides more phenolic antioxidants than the average daily consumption of antioxidants from all fruits…Cranberries have the highest antioxidant content among 20 commonly consumed fruits, yet they are underconsumed, ranking 16th in the US.”’ I always considered cranberries as a North American fruit, so it was slightly surprising to learn that they are not eaten much in the US.
The blogger included her own advice on how to take in more cranberries into the diet which were put into bullet points, and added a picture on the end, making it more interesting and easy to read.
