This came from a magazine ad for Regina Red Wine Vinegar, and my page, torn from the magazine, has almost disintegrated ! So happy to find it already here. Blueberries are SO good for you - as antioxidants, and healthy eyes. (My eye doc tells me that was a myth told by WWII pilots, so the "enemy" didn't know they had night vision equipment !!) I only know that my glaucoma pressures have stayed down since I added them to my diet !
