Short-term consumption of blueberries can improve health outcomes in adults at high-risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but results on healthy individuals are ambiguous and require further investigation to establish long-term outcomes.
A protein found in cow’s milk, may help boost the accessibility of nutrients found in blueberry anthocyanins and their by-products, according to a group of China-based researchers.
Acute consumption of a flavonoid-rich wild blueberry drink may improve memory and attentional aspects of executive function in healthy children, suggests a study from the UK.
New research from Canada suggests that blueberries and bilberries do not significantly improve night vision in a healthy population, contradicting several previous (though often less well-designed) studies.
New varieties of the antioxidant-rich blueberry could result in
berries with better flavor, firmness and shelf life, according to
researchers at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
A series of clinical trials is underway in the UK to test the
anti-cancer effects of bilberry extracts, offer a potential boost
to the anthocyanidin-rich extracts.
