I add this information to their notes (enough to jog my memory, at least) because I need to pick up on it when we consult again. But that doesn’t mean that the patient wants everyone they consult with, in all medical settings, to have…

Presenting at the Berry Health Benefits Symposium in Philadelphia earlier this month, a group of international researchers explored how various berries interact with numerous body systems, particularly the microbiome, to confer these benefits.“When we characterize the gut microbial community, we’re really trying to understand who is there and what they are doing,” said Johanna Lampe, PhD, RD, professor at the Public Health Sciences Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. “The concentration and bioactivity of berries is actually highest in the gastrointestinal tract.”Berry bioactivity is attributed to polyphenols called anthocyanins, which give fruits and vegetables their red, purple and blue…
