Cherry next fruit with medicinal quality

It might be an apple a day that keeps the doctor away but cherries are emerging as the next fruit with medicinal qualities as researchers test the ability to prevent inflammation.

Clinical trials will start soon at the University of Tasmania to determine whether certain types of cherries contain high levels of bioactive compounds which can help inflammation and the consequences of inflammatory disease.

"Anecdotal evidence suggests that consumption of cherries can alleviate issues relating to inflammation, such as gout," the university's Melanie Blackhall said.
