Since I started this topic I will tell you what works for me. I have been eating

about 10 dried cherries every morning and I try to remember to eat more in

afternoon, but I often forget the afternoon ones. Still, the morning 'dose'

seems to carry me through. I started with fresh cherries this past summer, about

a dozen or more a day. Now that they are out of season, dried seem to be the

most economical. I have not tried capsules or juice but may look into them also

since dried run about $4.50 per 5 oz. container. Next container I am going to

count them first!

Dear JoAnn:

Some grocery stores carry frozen cherries that are quite a bit less expensive

than dried. You will still pay between 3 and 5 dollars, but it is for closer to

12 to 16 oz. I wish that the season for fresh cherries was not so short. I

wonder if canned cherries would be as effective. I know that canning can

sometimes really compromise nutritional value.

Hi ,

I did check the frozen and yes they are less expensive BUT they are frozen whole

so the weight includes the water in them versus nothing in dried BUT the cherry.

As for in the can, I have tried them and they are really not that appetizing and

again, because they are canned in water or juice, it adds to the weight! But

thanks for the info - I will keep comparing. For now, I am just so glad I found

them and they are helping.

Have you or anyone else tried any of the cherry supplements offered for sale at

the various supplement web sites? I regularly buy other supplements from two,

Puritan Pride and VitaminShoppe, and I just looked and saw 1000 mg/100 count for

$10 per bottle or $8 per bottle if you buy 5 bottles. (http://bit.ly/dVUm5Q)

That is 8 cents for 1000 mg (I just rechecked and the fine print says each

capsule has " 250 mg from a 4:1 extract " ). I guess they make a solution and

spray dry it to make the powder. I will have to do some more research to try

and learn how much cherry is in a cherry (sounds funny said that way). Yet the

supplements, if they worked like the real cherries do, would be so much more

simple.

Any comments on this aspect of the cherry story???

Thanks,

Ken

Dear Ken:

I haven't seen cherry supplements where I live...although you can get cranberry

supplements, which I've used before to prevent bladder infections...but I found

that they affected my blood sugar...I don't know if cherry supplements would do

that, too.  I'm just going to try eating some frozen and dried cherries to see

if they will make a difference.

Coincidentally I had bought a cherry crumble pie to have for Thanksgiving

(before this thread began) and I can report that super sweetened cherries in

syrup did not make any difference.

Dear Ken, Thanks for the info - It sure would be a lot simpler! I will do some

online research and also take a look at them while out and about today.

That is a good thought. I would think as long as they are processed properly

and standardized the supplement would be as good as any other living plant or

fruit that many of us use.

Guess what? I've sent my husband to buy cherries! I know a lovely recipe called

cheat's clafoutis. Clafoutis is a classic French dessert of pitted cherries with

a milky/eggy topping. I guess mine is just a simplified version
