January 17/Norton, Mass./Nottingham Evening Post -- Research commissioned by a Notts firm suggests mulberries could be the key to fending off colds and flu.
The tests, commissioned by The Progressive Food Company, Newark, showed that while superfruits like acai berry and blueberry have long been considered a natural and effective remedy, the mulberry is "significantly" more beneficial for people's health. The study, carried out by Massachusetts-based Brunswick Laboratories, revealed that mulberry juice has a higher concentration of antioxidants than orange, apple, pear or cranberry juice.
