blueberries Vs milk

[enigma10]

who here eats blueberries with serial or milk products, ( ice cream, yogurt etc..) i know i have.

i had a bunch of connecting flights to and from my travel locations so i picked up a Muscle Mag for reading material, one article was about blueberries and how great they are but not with milk.

Now, a recent report indicates that the health benefits of blueberries are blocked by milk. Phenolics have a high affinity for protein, and the binding to milk protein prevents phenolics from accessing body cells. The study that demonstrated this effect involved measuring blood levels of the blueberry phenolics at various times after human volunteers consumed 200 gms of blueberries with 200 ml of either water or milk. Levels of phenolics rose sharply when water was consumed, but there was no increase when milk was consumed.

Heat destroys blueberry phenolics. So even though blueberry pie tastes great, it won't help your health. Only fresh blueberries provide useful levels of phenolics.

So, the recommendation is to consume blueberries without proteins. It should suffice to eat blueberries either one hour before eating other foods or two hours afterwards. For me, I will eat my blueberries alone an hour before my milk and cereal.

FYI

there are allot of other references from other sources other then the Muscle Mag i was reading, i did a google search and a laundry list pulled up.

i do have to say eating them alone is a bit different then what I'm use to, i use to put them on my yogurt all the time ( after a work out for immediate sugar ) but to each there own I'm piling on a bowl of straight blueberries right now.

just sayin the difference it will make will not be noticeable ur just taking away from your yogurt but to each his own

Milk itself is unhealthy - let alone the blueberry blocking benefits.

I'd say add your blueberries to some almond milk or something.
