Yeh, didn't get much traction in the media so I thought I'd just ignore it. The Wild Blueberry Association funds at least 1 terrible study a year showing blueberries are magical, and they are always awful research

Even a brief skim raises TONS of questions. What 'medical concerns' can you have in a 1-week study on drinking blueberry juice? Excluding people due to poor adherence is just hands-down bad study practicepic.twitter.com/NVjN5sbNLj

Why does their registered protocol differ WILDLY from the study? Their primary outcome has changed, and the registration just says "different types of fruits" not blueberriespic.twitter.com/8837MlG95E

More issues! Primary outcome was NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT BETWEEN GROUPS and yet the entire study is written as if it waspic.twitter.com/lScw8sHxGP

It's gotten to the point where I just automatically dismiss any study funded by Big Blueberry. They are just marketing efforts dressed up as science
