any more thoughts on this?

That study used milk, not just protein. Do you eat your blueberries with milk?
I’m sure there is plenty of reason to believe that protein reduces antioxidant properties of blueberries, but since the study used milk and not some sort of protein concentrate or isolate, it isn’t really definitive. [/quote]
I was also wondering the same thing. Protein shake w/ water and blueeberries, okay??
If so then sf almond milk could be used as that’s non dairy.

I think people should just go ahead and keep eating their berries with protein.
This is just ridiculous, and the perfect example of people paying way to much attention to something that will probably have little/no effect.
The sun can give you cancer, so do you stop walking outside? No, because there are plenty of other benefits, including being happy. Same goes for berries and protein, or whatever else it may be.

How exactly is this ridiculous? While I agree that, in general, people should avoid scrutinizing single studies and instead look at the big picture, this one is saying that taking blueberries with milk completely blunts absorption of some of their most beneficial compounds. It’s pretty significant…
Blueberries contain antioxidants, milk contains oxidants, you do the math. All food is essentially an oxidant in the sense that our bodies need oxygen to process it (yes I’m aware that glycolysis doesn’t need oxygen).

I have witnessed multiple people achieve great physiques while incorporating some type of blueberries and dairy mix, so I personally think this concern is one of little significance.
If you’re only relying on blueberries to get your vitamins and minerals, than maybe you should switch things around, but then again you shouldn’t be doing that in the first place.
