Speaking of headaches the other day, I was just reading today that Johns Hopkins has done some research showing that eating Montmorency cherries (tart cherries) regularly helps prevent headaches. It looks like the same chemicals that help with the headaches also help with arthritis. Here's a little bit I found online on it:

Mountmorency Tart Cherry and Blueberry Juice

Tart cherries contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds. In laboratory tests, MSU research indicates that tart cherry compounds are at least 10 times more active than aspirin. The advantage of tart cherries is that they are more effective without any of the adverse side effects of aspirin.

"Tart cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety, contain an extremely significant quantity of melatonin, enough to produce positive results in the body."

In addition to the antioxidants, cherries are rich in two important flavonoids --isoqueritrin and queritrin. According to leading researchers, queritrin is one of the most potent anticancer agents ever discovered.

Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice and Arthritis Pain Relief

According to ongoing research, daily consumption of Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate reduces the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. To date no other fruit or vegetable has the pain relieving properties of Montmorency Cherries. According to research at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan the presence of three powerful anthocyanins in Montmorency Cherries prevent inflammation. Twenty cherries provide 25 milligrams of anthocyanins which help to shut down the enzymes that cause tissue inflammation related to arthritis and other inflammatory illnesses.
