Juices protect against clogged arteries

by Kendra James, RN on May 18th, 2008

I always knew I liked grape juice for a reason, and it is also my kids favorite juice!

Juices made from apples or purple grapes - and the fruit themselves - protect against developing clogged arteries, a study suggests.

Hamsters were fed the fruit juice, the equivalent of 4 glasses a day for an average size person, or water plus a fatty diet and the little animals that consumed the juice had a lower risk of developing artery problems. Hamsters to people is a big leap but the researchers say their findings suggest the amount of phenols contained in a food have a direct effect on its antioxidant properties and thus have a significant public health relevance.
