In a randomized clinical trial of powdered strawberries in patients with precancerous lesions in their esophagus, subjects ate 1-2 ounces of freeze-dried strawberries every day for 6 months--that's the daily equivalent of about a pound of fresh strawberries. The progression of the disease was reversed in about 80% of the patients in the high-dose strawberry group. [2015] - Michael Greger
