Strawberries have been shown to contain high levels of ellagic acid, a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen and anti-cancer initiator. Grapes contain resveratrol, which has been proven to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. According to Dr. Andrew Dannenburg at Cornell University Medical College, recent research on resveratrol indicates that it inhibits the development of an enzyme commonly linked to breast cancer.
The beauty of using your Vitamix machine to make this recipe is that you'll be releasing the powerful phytochemicals found in strawberries and grapes and making them more bioavailable.
