When It Comes to Health, Not All Fruit Created Equal

(Newser) – If you’re worried about diabetes, you might want to stock up on blueberries and ditch the fruit juice. That’s the upshot of a new study in the British Medical Journal that tracked the eating habits of 180,000 subjects over nearly 30 years. The simplified findings: Those who ate five servings of whole blueberries a week had a 26% lower risk of contracting type 2 diabetes, reports the New York Times. Grapes and apples also did well, followed by prunes, pears, bananas, and grapefruit. Other fruits didn’t seem to have much of an effect in terms of diabetes.

One striking part of the study is that fruit juice might actually raise the risk for the disease, notes National Geographic. That’s probably in part because dietary fiber and nutrients are lost in the juicing process, explains Bloomberg. So are blueberries a silver bullet? Not even close. “We don’t want to leave the impression that there’s any magical fruit,” says a co-author of the study, per the Boston Globe. And, he adds, no amount of blueberries in the world will compensate for things like a lack of exercise, an otherwise lousy diet, or a pack of smokes. (A previous study suggested blueberries also helped ward off dementia.)

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — In what’s become an annual tradition, the University of Massachusetts celebrated the start of the new academic year with a delicious, healthy, record-breaking dish.

About 500 students and staff at the Amherst campus on Monday sliced, diced, pitted and peeled 150 varieties of fruit to create a salad weighing more than 15,000 pounds. The salad was mixed in a 15-foot diameter swimming pool.

It included 20 varieties of apples weighing more than 3,600 pounds; 19 varieties of melon weighing more than 2,500 pounds; peaches, bananas, oranges and berries as well as more exotic fruits including quince, passion fruit and rambutan.

A Guinness World Records representative certified the record.

UMass in recent years has started the semester with record-breaking seafood stews and stir fries.

A Guide To Ohio Fall Festivals

When the warm summer weather turns cool and the leaves change color, there is still time for celebration. If you find yourself up north in the USA, you have your pick of Ohio fall festivals to attend. You should do this before winter comes and you\’ll only want to hibernate.

Rural Ohio is farm country, so there are several events that have farming and fresh produce as themes. If you are craving apple pie or cider, head to Lebanon for the Country Applefest. All items for sale here are handmade, so it\’s a great place to start looking for unique Christmas gifts too. Another great place to celebrate all things apple is Hidden Valley Fruit Farm in Warren County. Apple Daze and the Ohio Cider Fest are two of the apple-themed events they present in September and October. In Grand Rapids you can be even more specific and attend the Apple Butter Fest.

If you\’ve had your fill of apples, you can go for pumpkins instead. Since 1903, Circleville has been presenting the Pumpkin Festival. This is the longest-running event of this kind in the state and is guaranteed to get you into Halloween mode.

The immigrants that settled in the Buckeye State over the years are celebrated with various events with an international theme. For example, the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville pays tribute to German culture and cuisine. In addition to the more traditional sauerkraut dishes, you can try some very interesting creations like sauerkraut fudge, donuts or sundaes.

The Swiss Festival in Sugar Creek brings the country of cuckoo clocks, yodeling and Heidi to Little Switzerland. In Warren County, Middfest International focuses on a different country every year. For 2012 the featured country is France.

If you are more interested in local culture, you can attend events like the one celebrating arts and culture in Tremont. Ohio Heritage Days in Mansfield is a good place to learn about old-time skills like blacksmithing and butter-churning. Jefferson has an event that pays tribute to the eighteen covered bridges of Ashtabula County, while Marietta celebrates sternwheeler river boats.

For history that goes a little further back, there is the Ohio Renaissance Festival that takes place every weekend throughout September and most of October. Minstrels, jousting tournaments and getting to quaff your ale and eat without utensils are all part of renaissance fests. At this one, however, you can also watch The Mudde Show, a unique performance that involves classics from literature and sets and props made of mud.

A different kind of unique is the Woolly Bear Festival in Vermillion. The theme of this event is not a big furry mammal, but a small furry caterpillar. Lore has it that the black band across the back of a woolly bear is an indication of how much snow will fall in winter. A wide band means that you should keep the sleds close by.

The internet is a very good source to find out more about these and other Ohio fall festivals. The local listings will give you all the information you need about dates, venues and activities, as will the Buckeye State\’s tourist websites. The hardest part for you will be to choose where to go.
