Recent Research on the Health Benefits of Blueberries and Their Anthocyanins

Awareness of the human health benefits of blueberries is underpinned by a growing body of positive scientific evidence fromhuman observational and clinical research, plus mechanistic research using animal and in vitro models. Blueberries contain a large number of phytochemicals, including abundant a...
