Dear Joao and Jeanette, I picked many one-cup servings of DELICIOUS Maine wild blueberries from the hill just up the treet from where I live, this past July. Joao wrote us that: "Scientists who published this new research found that old rats who had blueberry supplements added to their diets showed improved balance and memory." Now, if I could only REMEMBER where they are in my freezer, I could send you both some of our "blues." I am often lost , leaning , looking amidst the ziplock bags of strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries and elderberries we collected this summer, HEY, WAIT A MINUTE ,Joao, there may be qualities in the ELDERberries that are not studied yet...! Could they give us wisdom? Would us younger-onset PWP's benefit? Oh, No, old berries for younger PWEP's?? I'm getting befuddled again.. HEY NATALIE, another round of blueberry pancakes, PLEEZ!!!! from a Maine berry-picker who is 50/39/36 On Sat, 4 Dec 1999 08:11:43 -0600 Leo Fuhr <[log in to unmask]> writes: >Joao Paulo Carvalho wrote to the list about the study of "old" rats >being >given a diet rich w/blueberries, spinach or strawberry supplements and >then >the memories of these rats, esp. those fed blueberries, improved. > >I'd like to volunteer for any human trials as long as I'm in one of >the >berry fed groups and NOT the spinach fed group.
