Why berries can make you feel very good ?

I happen to come across an article today on "Why berries can make you feel very good" and just want to share them with you.

Among the most important antioxidants to be found in berries are Anthocyanins. These help to fight carcinogens and cause cells to die when they should instead of reproducing uncontrollably as happens with cancer. "We are at the same stage in our understanding of the benefit of these plant or phyto-chemicals as we were 100 years ago with vitamins," says [Catherine Collins].

Goji or wolfberries, which are grown in China and Mongolia, have a rich, spicy taste and are estimated to contain 500 times more vitamin C than their equivalent weight in oranges. Acai berries from Brazil contain twice as many antioxidants as blueberries, while Acerola cherries, originating in the Caribbean, contain more than 150 nutrients and powerful antioxidants called bioflavanoids.’
