Nutritionists Vote Blueberries 'Best Fruit'
United States
Monday 17 November 2003
In a recent survey carried out for SELF magazine, nutritionists agreed they couldn't live without blueberries!
SELF asked a panel of nutritional experts including 34 members of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) to come up with a "dream team" of super foods that would give them "more energy for fewer calories and a body built to last."
Despite stiff competition from fruits like kiwi, cranberry, orange and cantaloupe, blueberries were voted "best fruit" in the survey.
One of the main reasons for the bluberry’s victory was its high level of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which may have the potential to protect against such diseases as Alzheimer's, cancer and heart disease.
