Seems it's same-same as blueberries, good for both your heart and your head. This is along the same line as "eat like a grizzly" blueberries and salmon, just now found out that strawberries is on that same team, good for your heart, good for your head. It's great when food we really like is good for us. VIA Happy Daze, the non-commercial, all good news site.
I don't need to really pay much mind to this stuff, young as I am. A mere youth! Not but 68. OK, 69 in a month. Still, I'm festive, hale, hearty, all that jive.
But I've got this cardiac silliness going on, and this manic depression, too. And eat like a grizzly is A Real Thing. I shove a double fistful of pills into my head every morning, and every night, and I don't scrimp on that, so damned if i'll not have some good berries.

If we're putting on our skeptic hats, always go first to Materials and Methods: Participants: Overweight, middle-aged men and women with complaints of mild cognitive decline were recruited . . . a total of 34 were enrolled in the study; 17 in each group. That's a small sample size to reach any conclusions.
Also the company MDPI has been flagged as a predatory publisher: one whose journals will publish anything that can cough up page-charges. Then again the MDPI stable is 450 journals strong, some of which will have rigorous editors who are legit academics in their own right, who have undertaken the thankless editorial gig to boost their profile to get promotion /tenure. Then again then again, some papers published in MDPI journals are 'okay' if weak. Including - counts - 3 with my IRL name on the author list.
