Scientific studies show that drinking tart cherry juice may help millions of persons suffering with ailments ranging from arthritis to certain cancers. These studies scientifically confirm what has been believed by thousands of farmers and fruit growers - the juice of sour cherries may prove to be a remarkable elixir of health.
The primary study, published by Michigan State University, concluded that the natural chemicals found in tart, or sour cherries are 10 times more effective in fighting inflammation than Aspirin. While not a "cure", this natural drug may provide pain relief and increased mobility to those suffering from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and gout, without the complications traditionally induced by the use of over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs.
The anti-oxidant effects of tart cherry juice have also been demonstrated to be effective in the battle against such killers as cancer and heart disease. A study conducted by the national opinion firm Wirthlin Worldwide showed that cherry growers, who on average ate six pounds of tart cherries per year, had significantly lower rates of cancer and heart disease as compared to the general population, who on average consume only one pound of these sour cherries per year. Studies from Finland show that consumption of anti-oxidant fruits dramatically lower the incidence of lung cancer in non-smoking men and that a diet rich in anti-oxidants cuts a woman's risk of cervical cancer in half.
The beneficial effects of anti-oxidants are well known in the medical community. The plaque flushing effect on the artery walls has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 30%, while other cardio-vascular benefits include the prevention of varicose veins and the reduction of abnormal clumping of red blood cells, which has been shown to be a factor in heart attack and stroke. These natural healing agents are known to be effective in preventing and fighting cancer, and according to the US Department of Agriculture, may reduce the risk of cataracts by a factor of four. The 17 beneficial chemicals contained in tart cherry juice, including three with the potential to fight colon cancer, form a veritable pharmacopoeia that helps the body combat the effects of illness and aging.

current commercial food preparation practices, the rampant use of
chemical preservatives, and limited seasonal availability combine
