For decades, cherries slid by on reputation only. The tangy little orbs of deliciousness have been credited with an array of health advantages, from soothing gout and arthritis to helping with a good night’s sleep.

Without hard data, though, such claims were dismissed as proverbial old wives’ tales.

Well, sometimes old wives know what they’re talking about.

“It was always anecdotal, but it’s been reported so frequently, by so many different people, that you have to think there may be something to it,” says Dr. Russell J. Reiter, professor of neuroendocrinology at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

Reiter recently put some hard science behind the cherry folklore. He conducted a five-month study and found that tart cherries contain significant amounts of melatonin — a hormone produced in the brain’s pineal gland that has been credited with slowing the aging process, and fighting insomnia and jet lag. It’s also being studied as a potential treatment for cancer, depression and other diseases and disorders.

Yes, if you don't eat them with a massive amount of desert.

Yes they have vitamin C and fiber.

Definately!

I don't normally eat fruits but whenever I had the urge, my hubby would go get me these "pricey" fruits.
There used to be "cherry" trees and we've pick them to eat because they're so sweet and fragrant.
They've all but disappeared from the landscape now :(

I live in the tropics, so yes these fruits are expensive but, they're loaded with vitamin C!
