"Study finds that sorghum bran has more antioxidants than blueberries, pomegranates"

Well, hell...my day is made now, I'm going out this morning and buy a truckload of sorghum bran.

I'd follow the money on this one.

Blueberries are so good, they actually reverse the aging process. The body starts rebuilding it's own nerve cells.

Japan did an antioxidant study on blueberries, strawberries, and spinach. To their surprise, the older rats being fed nothing but blueberry extract became youthful again. The Japanese study was on the net for a short while, then pulled. We tried to order blueberry plants in bulk after that, but Japan had bought out every blueberry plant in the U.S. that year. After that, there was no mention of it from Japan.

If you google "blueberries reverse aging process", you'll find numerous links, but the original report can no longer be found. I printed it before it disappeared, so I do have a copy of it.

Perhaps, but I will gladly eat blueberry pancakes.
Sorghum bran pancakes do not sound as appealing.

If they sold it in packages like they do oat and wheat bran, it could be useful to add to a mixture of other grains for baking breads and rolls, or making a breakfast porridge type meal.

It would be more useful than blueberries in that it won't be perishable, like fresh blueberries, or its quality be diminished by long term freezer storage. Probably be cheaper for the same amount of antioxidants, as well.

It might also encourage farmers to start growing food for FOOD, again, rather than for fuel.

So does anyone know where one can purchase high-tannin sorghum bran?

Isn’t sorghum just one of those “exports” we used to read about in geography? You know: “The chief exports of Loserstan are jute, sorghum, and tin.”
