Oh, and about those blueberries. They aren't just good tasting, they're healthy!  According to the North American Blueberry Council, out of 40 different fruits, juices, and vegetables, the blueberry has the highest antioxidant level.  And just three and a half ounces of blueberries are equivalent to over 1700 International Units of Vitamin E!
