I just saw this ad (click for a larger image) for Welch’s American Concord Purple Grape Juice that claims it helps promote a healthy heart.

Concord grape juice flavonoids may promote healthy arteries.

Preliminary research suggests that flavonoids may function in ways other than as antioxidants in the body. First, some initial studies showed that the flavonoids in Concord grape juice promoted the flexibility of arteries, which is important to allow increased blood flow when needed, such as during exercise, shoveling snow, and climbing stairs. Second, additional preliminary studies suggest that these flavonoids may also help reduce the stickiness of the blood, which in turn helps maintain the free flow of blood through the arteries.

I bought some pomegranate juice the other day but just couldn’t bring myself to drink much. I’m a water kind of gal. What do you like to drink?
