Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Well, we haven't heard anything bad about strawberries before, but it's always good to hear something good, nonetheless.
A new study conducted by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, Boston suggests that strawberries and blueberries may help protect against the damage that causes a decline in learning and motor skills commonly seen with aging. Supplementing the diet with either strawberries or blueberries helped preserve the ability to learn, remember and relearn different patterns.
According to Jim Joseph, PhD, a USDA Scientist and co-author of this study, "Adding strawberries and blueberries to the diet may help preserve learning and motor skills as we age." Strawberries and blueberries are rich in antioxidants that help protect against such damage. Additional research showed strawberries ranked third overall in anti-oxidant contant, behind blackberries and walnuts.

when I was a kid. I was even allergic to them at the
time. I ate them until they gave me hives. I couldn't
help myself. My mother got so angry with me; it was a
twisted sort of pleasure on my part. I still love
strawberries.

I make an interesting shake out of frozen strawberries with 2 cups of strawberries, (which are very low in weight watcher points)and add to this a cup of ice water and 1/3 cup of dry milk add some sweetner,(I use non caloric instead of sugar)and put this all in the blender. Let it blend for about 30 seconds and what you get is so delicious. You can sip it through a straw or just drink it from a glass or eat it with a spoon. Mmmm DELICIOUS!!!
