Health Benefits of Blueberries
Beyond their delicious taste, blueberries have been shown to increase antioxidant activity in the blood. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, "blueberries contain many phytochemicals and nutrients which show potential anti-cancer effects in laboratory studies."
