 Cherry :
Cherry is rich in iron and therefore a great blood
builder. Because of its high iron, cherry is used to cleanse the
liver and kidneys. Cherry is well known as a high alkaline food
which helps rid the body of toxins and balance pH levels. Cherry
contains polyphenolic catechins which are powerful free radical
scavenging agents. It has also been shown to inhibit formation
of nitrosamines which are known carcinogens. The pigments that
give cherries their red hue are anthocyanins, which are powerful
antioxidants. Also, cherries contain flavonoids isoqueritin and
queritin, potent anti-cancer agents.
