I already knew that grape juice was healthy for your heart, much like another drink made from grapes…red wine.
A new study from the Journal of Medicinal Foods says that the natural properties of Concord grape juice protected healthy breast cells from damage by cancerous cells. The magical ingredient that did? Anthocyanins. Yeah, I never heard of them either! Anthocyanins are strong natural antioxidants (I have heard of those) present in grape juice.
I’m not sure if this will prompt me to add more grape juice to my life though. Maybe they can take out the anthocyanins and put them in a pill form for lazy people like me?

Thanks Colleen, that’s great news.
I have been mixing a bit of pure cranberry/grape juice with my water this summer, I can’t seem to get into drinking plain water for some reason.
I was thinking that it was a good way to get my vitamin C, but this makes it even better!
