ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - After getting promising results from experiments with rats, University of Michigan scientists say they're preparing for a clinical study of whether eating tart cherries can help people reduce risk of heart disease and diabetes.
"There is still a long way to go before we can advocate any course of action for humans," said Dr. Steven Bolling, a cardiac surgeon and director of the university's Cardioprotection Research Laboratory. "Still, the growing body of knowledge is encouraging."
Researchers discussed their findings Monday at the Experimental Biology 2007 meeting in Washington, D.C.
