But those who ate three servings a week of blueberries had more than a 25 percent lower risk, while grapes were associated with an 11 percent reduced risk and apples with a 5 percent lower risk. Drinking fruit juice, on the other hand, slightly raised a person’s risk of developing the disease, and so did eating cantaloupes. Should these results lead us to change our eating habits, choosing, say, blueberries over melon? No, said study coauthor Qi Sun, an epidemiologist. “We don’t want to leave the impression that there’s any magical fruit,” he said, since the study doesn’t prove that eating blueberries actually helps people avoid diabetes.
