Study Summary

This trial will see if blueberries have an effect on health for children who don't eat many fruits and vegetables.

The Blueberry Study is for children of all ethnicities and BMIs who eat less than 1.5 cups of fruit and fewer than 2 cups of vegetables per day. It's not for kids with blueberry allergies, epilepsy, asthma, kidney or hormonal diseases, bleeding disorders, chronic infections, diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2), ADHD, ODD, ASD or other significant health issues that could affect the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study tests the effects of wild blueberries on children's health by comparing nutrients found in blood and urine after eating foods containing either wild blueberries or a placebo. The goal is to understand how these nutrients from blueberries are absorbed by children.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves consuming foods with wild blueberries compared to a placebo food item without them, side effects may be minimal but can include potential allergic reactions if an undiagnosed allergy exists.
