Blueberries

Blueberries could provide an alternative way to lower cholestrol, according to US researchers. A compound in the fruits was found to act as effectively as a commercial drug used to reduce levels of the bad form of cholestrol in rodents. Although the results are preliminary the Department of Agriculture team thinks the anti-oxidant ingredient could be developed as a treatment. They presented their findings to an American Chemical Society meeting.
