Some "Berry" Good News for Eating Fruit

TurboCharged® is a groundbreaking 8-Step program that defies common weight-loss theories.

New York, NY – August 04, 2011 -- The Oregon State University’s Department of Food Science and Technology recently found that salicylic acid, a natural form of aspirin, is found in berries that grow on canes such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. They reported that the salicylic acid in berries could prove to have similar effects to aspirin in pain management and protecting against heart disease. A ¾ cup serving of raspberries contains about 5 mg. of salicylic acid.

These findings follow more good news on fruit. Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health, who had followed 125,000 people for 20-22 years, concluded that eating berries can lower the risk of Parkinson’s disease. The participants that consumed the most flavonoids, especially the anthocyanins that are found in berries, had a much lower risk of developing the disease than those whose diet contained less or even a different class of flavonoid.

"Do not wait for any major drugs or pills based on the conclusion or recommendation of these scientific studies," said Tom Griesel, author of the book, TurboCharged (BSH, 2011). "For optimal health, fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal foods. They are naturally high in all known and unknown polyphenols and antioxidants. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds daily and no additional drugs or ‘extract’ supplements are required to maintain optimal health," adds Tom.
