BS alert: Tart cherries as a "cure-all" fruit...

[survivor999]

I think it's a load of BS made up by tart cherry growers. But look for yourself.

"Cherries for Cancer?

A Bowl of Cherries
Singer Rudy Vallee used to croon: "Life is just a bowl of cherries." I always wondered, "Why cherries? Why not plums, pears, or persimmons?" No longer. Scientists are now proving that the cherry (particularly the tart cherry, Prunus cerasus) contains a host of marvelous compounds that fight diseases, including cancer."

4. I have heard about this

it is very interesting!

"While there are no herbs or supplements that can stem an attack of gout, you might get some relief by drinking cherry juice or eating tart (pie) cherries in season. There is anecdotal evidence and some interesting research suggesting that the anthocyanins that give tart cherries their color may prove more effective than aspirin for pain relief. Laboratory findings at Michigan State University suggest that the equivalent of 20 tart cherries inhibited enzymes called cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, which are the targets of anti-inflammatory drugs, at doses more than 10 times lower than aspirin. Although human studies haven’t been conducted, the Michigan researchers theorized that eating tart cherries daily has the potential to reduce pain related to inflammation, arthritis and gout."
