Awesome Food = Strawberries!

Strawberries (like most berries) pack a powerful punch in terms of nutrients. Many unique flavanoids are contained in strawberries, which help the body prevent disease. One such nutrient in strawberries is called "fisetin." Universities in Taiwan, Poland, China, and the University of Wisconsin in the USA are all studying the effects fisetin has on cancer cells. The research so far in cell studies is promising, showing fisetin had the ability to help destroy cancer cells through various processes. Strawberries, like blueberries, have also been shown to have protective effects on the brain and heart.
