These include <i>quercetin</i>, a member of the flavonoid family which has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Cherries also contain <i>anthocyanains</i> which act like natural COX-2 inhibitors, reducing pain and inflammation. That's one reason why they're so great for gout. My favorite "healthy" desert- frozen cherries mixed with full fat yogurt. Tastes like Cherry Garcia only way better for you.Dr. Jonny Bowdenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02150142612659187723noreply@blogger.com
