The benefits of blueberries are numerous. For example, they are used to combat diabetes, as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, for vision problems, and in the prevention of certain types of cancer. The pigment that gives the fruit its blue color (anthocyanin) plays a role in human cellular metabolism, reducing the action of free radicals associated with aging, cancer, heart diseases, and Alzheimer's. These qualities are appreciated in high-income markets, where purchase decisions are influenced primarily by non-economic factors. For this reason, advertising campaigns highlight this benefit of the fruit among its nutritious and health-promoting properties.
