BMJ · 2013 · Meta-analysis / systematic review
Fruit consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective longitudinal cohort studies

Conclusion: Our findings suggest the presence of heterogeneity in the associations between individual fruit consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes. Greater consumption of specific whole fruits, particularly blueberries, grapes, and apples, is significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas greater consumption of fruit juice is associated with a higher risk.

Blueberries for brainpower: A systematic review and meta-analysis with Bayesian post hoc analysis of RCTS exploring cognitive function in the elderly with prior cognitive decline

Conclusion: Chronic blueberry intake may improve episodic memory in the elderly with MCI and subjective cognitive decline, and also language in the elderly with MCI. These findings should be confirmed in further multicenter trials to confirm generalizability and long-term impact.
