Blueberries are high in some nutrient, which is destroyed by the enzymes in them when eaten raw. If they’re cooked, the nutrient is available to the body, so in this case, cooking them actually increases the nutritional value. For the life of me, I can’t remember the nutrient. Seems that it was folic acid but I don’t recall.
The mind’s going. Time to load up on blueberry jam.

My mother told me that blueberries would help with my rosacea problem.
I think that she was correct.
Either way, it was OK.....I happen to like blueberries.

Results of studies, published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, found that rats with blueberries in their diets had a slower rate of brain cell loss associated with ageing illnesses than those on normal food.
Perhaps that's why the demorats in Congress always stay true to their socialist ideology.

Not near as good as a young or older sexy wife.
Just the lowly opinion of a red state wannabe.

Yep, blueberries, sardines, and grass-fed beef fat.
I’m convinced that the reason that the duck-tors try to get people off of beef is because they make more money that way.

Made blueberry pie today.
They are also beneficial for eyes - and the effect is almost immediate.
Also said to be good to help ward off age-related Macular Degeneration - as are Bilberries, an English name for huckleberries - a cousin of blueberries - that usually grow with blueberries. (got that? LOL)
It’ll be blueberry time in Maine next month - got my rake ready/

Bilberry benefit :
Bilberry Extract, also referred to as blueberry, is a potent extract yielding key bioflavonoids and antioxidants called anthocyanosides, anthocyanins
Blueberry ranked #1 by researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center when comparing antioxidant activity to 40 other vegetables and fruits. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radical damage that can lead to cancer and other age related diseases. Anthocyanin the pigment that makes the blueberries blue is thought to be responsible for blueberry's antioxidant and anti inflammatory health benefits. Bilberry often referred to as the European blueberry contains anthocyanin as well.

Excellent articles, wonderful news - just what those of us living in this part of south Jersey which bills itself as “The Blueberry Capitol of the World” like to hear......
To: blam
I like blueberries, but I like (the similar) huckleberries even better.
We stumbled onto an area while backpacking the Appalachian Trail (in New Jersey) where there are huckleberry bushes all over the place. You can fill up bread bags full of huckleberries.
