Blueberries have been leading the way in research on the effectiveness of antioxidants against aging effects on the brain. What would be your comments about including more blueberries in your diet?
a. Blueberries are only one of many flavonoid-rich foods that may slow cognitive decline, but can contribute to an overall healthy diet high in plant foods.
b. Blueberries contain a high level of antioxidants so they should be an excellent food to consume to protect against aging effects on the brain.
c. The antioxidant content of blueberries is much higher than most other foods so they should be selected first to add to the diet.
d. Studies done on laboratory rats showed fewer age-related declines in brain function, so those findings can be translated to benefits for humans.
e. Controlled human trials are not needed to confirm whether adding the berries to a person's diet actually does protect the human brain in aging.
