Berry fruits provide a rich source of dietary anthocyanins to the human diet. Epidemiological evidence has identified dietary anthocyanins as specific flavonoids associated with lower cardiovascular risk and metabolic health.  These data are consistent with in vitro and animal model findings. Human clinical trials are emerging to show how and in what amounts berry-rich anthocyanins need to be consumed to provide their benefits. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the berry and anthocyanin research to date focused on metabolic health and potential links to their benefits centrally.
