DAVIS, Calif., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say cherry consumption -- 45 Bing cherries a day -- selectively improved circulating blood levels for nine biomarkers of inflammatory disease.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with the Western Human Nutrition Research Center's Agriculture Research Service, a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, measured changes in 89 known markers for inflammation, immune status, cardiovascular disease, blood clotting and liver and kidney function in those eating cherries.
