cherries are responsible for their deep red-blue color. In general, the darker the
cherries the better they are for you because they contain a higher concentration of
flavonoids. This applies to both sweet and sour cherries.
Studies have shown that cherries may also offer significant anticancer protection. Tart
cherries contain perillyl alcohol (POH). Studies have shown that perillyl alcohol is
effective in reducing the incidence of all types of cancer. Studies have also shown
that cherries are particularly beneficial in the treatment of gout. Gout is a type of
arthritis that occurs when there is an abnormally high concentration of uric acid in the
blood.
