Berries: Packed With Polyphenols

Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, but berries contain particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols. The researchers estimate that the berry eaters in the study consumed about three times the amount of polyphenols as the nonberry eaters and had higher levels of polyphenols in their blood. Other polyphenol-rich foods include chocolate, tea, and red wine, which also have been linked to lower heart disease risk.
The findings appear in the February issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
