Strawberries eaten in middle age can protect against cognitive decline and depression later on, according to a new randomized, controlled study. The study involved middle-aged people with overweight and insulin resistance who described themselves as experiencing mild cognitive decline. The study’s authors suggest that anthocyanins, bioactive compounds in strawberries, blueberries, and other berries, maybe the neuroprotective agent at work. While endorsing strawberries as a healthy food, a neurologist was skeptical of the study’s findings.
