Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients, with notably high levels of antioxidant vitamins C and E. The biggest health benefit of blueberries is their high levels of antioxidants. They have more antioxidants in them than any other fruit (or most any other food in general for that matter).

Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients, with notably high levels of the essential dietary mineral iron, and antioxidant vitamins C and E (table). Researchers have shown that blueberry anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavonols, and tannins inhibit mechanisms of cancer cell development in vitro. They are also very low in calories.In addition, blueberries contain anthocyanins and phenolics that can also act as antioxidants.

Based on data from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA), blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity. Sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueberry#Nutrient... and blueberry.org/health.htm .

Healthiest food for growing american lab pup that she will like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
