"A compound in blueberries shows promise of preventing colon cancer in animals, according to a joint study by scientists at Rutgers University and the US Department of Agriculture. The compound, pterostilbene, is a potent antioxidant that could be developed into a pill with the potential for fewer side effects than some commercial drugs that are currently used to prevent the disease. The study will be presented in March during the American Chemical Society national meeting."
