Berry extracts slow the growth of cancer cells; specifically, strawberry and black raspberry extracts had the greatest impact on colon cancer cells.

Packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, these blueberries are also high in potassium and vitamin C, making them the top choice of doctors and nutritionists. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they are also anti-inflammatory.

Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries have great antioxidants and should be eaten fresh in season and even the frozen berries in smoothies are delicious. Blueberries are packed with anthocyanins, which reduce inflammation and are one of the most powerful antioxidants.
