Dried plums are “key to vibrant health”!

The George Mateljan Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to “making the world a healthier place”.

How? Mainly through a website that aims to provide you with “cutting-edge information about why the World’s Healthiest Foods are the key to vibrant health and energy and how you can easily make them a part of your healthy lifestyle.”

And of course, dried plums are among the “world’s healthiest foods”! A very well-documented article explains that dried plums or prunes:

• Contain damage-preventing substances, phenols, which are particularly effective in neutralizing a destructive oxygen radical called superoxide anion radical.
• Help absorb iron.
• may lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, by 36%
