Aronia Berries
The aronia berry or chokeberry is commonly used to make juice.
Along with the bilberry, cranberry, & other fruit and fruit juices, the chokeberry has several healthful properties. A 2004 animal-modeled study (Matsumoto et al) conducted at the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition Faculty of Human Life Science at Fuji Women's University, showed that the antioxidant effects of chokeberry extract had a "gastro protective" effect in treating acute gastric hemorrhagic lesions in rats, suggesting it might be an effective natural treatment for severe stomach problems in humans, including ulcers.
A 2003 study (Malik et al) conducted at the Department of Nutrition and Food Science, University of Maryland, has provided preliminary indication of defense against colon cancer. If people would incorporate more fruit into their diet, & especially such high-antioxidant phenolics in fruits & fruit juices, as can be had from acai berries, blueberries, cranberries, chokeberries & the like, they might actually obtain many of the benefits they need! Native Americans used these berries for medicinal purposes, dyes for clothing, and for preserving meats and other foods. Aronia berries have been proven to: • improve circulation
• strengthen blood vessels
• suppress viruses
• act an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic within the human body.
