Cherries have pleased the palates of food lovers for centuries. Now there are
new reasons to love cherries. As a recent Newsweek article said "The day
when doctors say - 'Take 10 cherries and call me in the morning' - may not be
far off."
According to ongoing research, cherries are a rich source of antioxidants that
can help fight cancer and heart disease. In addition, they contain compounds
that help relieve the pain of arthritis, gout and even headaches.
The secret is in the pigments that give cherries their rich red / black hue.
They belong to a class of natural dyes called anthocyanins. These compounds
are being called "Mother Nature's all-natural chemotherapy agents."
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. Consuming it in foods,
such as cherries, is like unleashing inside your body an entire army of agents
that are adept at neutralizing cancer-causing agents.
