Why are we wild about our organic blueberries ?

There is a body of evidence that wild blueberries have health properties beyond their recognized role as a leading source of antioxidants:

Current research:
Vision: Combats macular degeneration
Infection: Discourages bacteria from adhering to cell walls
Alzheimers: Combats short term memory loss and repairs brain cell damage
