Since then, Shukitt-Hale has been studying the effects of blueberries on the nervous system. They have far-reaching effects. This was becoming clear. They taste good. And the effects were only seen when people were fatigued.

Still, she has come to see blueberries as a sort of medicine. She said they actually eat a blue powder of finely-ground, freeze-dried berries. Some compounds in foods that seemed extraneous actually help carry other compounds other places, and once you start isolating them, the sum of the parts is just less than the whole.

To that end, Shukitt-Hale recounts a study where her team treated cells with different compounds found in walnuts, another high-antioxidant food. These components had metabolic effects, but at some point the doses became toxic to the cells.

When the researchers put actual walnut oil on the cells, though, things were different. Shukitt-Hale was surprisingly unconvinced that much is. So why do some people believe that blueberries are healthy? What about all these studies? Nor have bananas or apples or mangoes. All of that despite the fact that blueberries are among the most recently domesticated crops. What probably tipped blueberries into the realm of ubiquitous, self-substantiating fruit, Shukitt-Hale told me, was the popular belief in health benefits.

And the reason they came together lies in one man: a gray-haired marketing guru named John Sauve. It was his vision. Because the nutrients in blueberries aid in cognition, memory, and anti-inflammation in the brain, they help to keep you aware and productive… AND they boost overall mood.
