Do they survive during the production of blueberries jam?some will, some wont but the question I'd be asking is that would the
benefit of the antioxidants be outweighed by the intake of added sugar
present in the jam?Ian

Is it possible to eliminate the disadvantages of added sugar by
drinking some lemon juice keeping glycemic load low?

MerlinYes, tht will reduce the GI of the meal. Or you can have the jam with some
other acidic food such as yogurt or kefir (both cotain lactic acid). Or you
can consume a soluble fiber food with the jam so as to slow down its
digestion.More elegant solution is to choose frozen wild organic blueberries instead
of blueberry jam. Wild blueberries are tiny, which means that their
proportion of skin to flesh is greater than in cultivated blueberries.
Consequently wild blueberries have a significantly greater antioxidant
flavonoid content and a far lower sugar content than do cultivated
blueberries, which are larger and sweeter. You can sweeten wild blueberries
with stevia extract instead of sugar. -

in my opinion and to my taste. I just sweeten them with
my saliva when I eat them. : o )George

have more flavour than blueberries. What really brings out their flavour I
find is to heat them veyr gently (which shouldn't take too much of the
antioxidant value out of them) and then pour them over a generous dollop of
vanilla ice-cream.. so much for the healthy diet but they do taste fantastic
that way :-)
