While exploring ways to help keep strawberries fresh during storage, researchers from Thailand and the US discovered that treating the berries with alcohol led to an increase in antioxidant capacity and free radical scavenging activity within the fruit. While such a boost helped the berries resist decay, the same compounds would also be expected to make the strawberries healthier to eat.

Wow. What about the other brightly colored foods that have been touted as healthy: blueberries, cranberries, Concord grapes, etc? The Cosmopolitan cocktail as tonic! I foresee new drinks: blueberry blitz, Concord concussion... But I don't think this news will help the vegetable side of the family. Spinach daiquiris and broccoli Margaritas? Gross!
