FlavonoidsAre they science fiction creatures--like humanoids, only tastier?

Well, in their natural state, they do taste goodBut, although the health benefits with which they have recently been credited certainly border on amazing, they are not the product of science fiction.

Flavonoids are among the phytonutrients--plant components--which don't seem to be essential to the regular functions of our bodiesBut boy, oh boy, do the ever make a difference in the way those same bodies are able to fight back against disease"Fightonutrients" might be a more appropriate spelling
By any spelling, however, phytonutrients have come to the forefront of those natural substances which can strengthen our immune systems, directly combat viral and bacterial infestations, and reduce the inflammation which leads to arthritis and brain dysfunctionThey can even assist in treating cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Even better, these little disease-busting bomblets are close as the produce department, or frozen fruit section, of the nearest grocery store, and if you want the best of the best, head straight for the blueberriesFrom the outside in, blueberries are loaded with enough phytonutrients to seriously challenge a number of invading illnesses.
