I know that they taste good and are kind of sexy, but are they good for you?
I love them and cannot get enough of them so I was wondering if me eating all of them like I do is a benifit.

Strawberry is good for you. Strawberries contain a range of nutrients, with vitamin C heading the group. They also contain significant levels of phytonutrients and antioxidants, which fight free radicals. Phenols provide strawberries with anti-inflammatory properties. These antioxidant properties are believed to be linked to what makes the strawberry bright red. Anthocyanins are responsible for the bright red color of strawberries. Overall they are good for you

You betcha! Did you know that strawberries have more Vitamin C than oranges? They're high in antioxidants, high in fiber and surprisingly low in calories.

STrawberries are very good for you and most fruits are. They have antioxidents and a lot of key nutrients and minerals that we need. I love eating them and yes they can benefit you.

Yes strawberries are low carb and high in antioxidants and vitamin C. I eat alot of them and they are just yummy in my protein shake or just as a dessert with whipped cream on them!

You know what? strawberry is not only delicious, but they're good for you. Eights strawberry can give you 160% of your daily supplememnt of vitamin c according to the magazine i read, and eating eight strawberries is pretty darned easy to do.

Yes it is good for you. It's a fruit high in Vitamin C, dietary fiber, and other sorts of good stuff. And in a cup of unsweetened strawberrries according to a website I visited, has only 43 calories. :) So I would say its pretty healthy.
