New research from Harvard Medical School[9] found that strawberries may offer cardiovascular disease protection. The study found that those who reported eating the most strawberries experienced lower blood levels of C-reactive protein.
C-reactive protein or CRP is a blood biomarker that signals the presence of inflammation in the body. Elevated levels of CRP have been shown in multiple studies to be a potentially good predictor of risk for both heart disease and stroke, as it is generally a signal of atherosclerosis.

Who cares if theyre healthful or not. I eat them because I enjoy them. I try to counter act any benefits with a good dose of sugar or whipped cream anyway. Theyre really easy to grow but my nephew seems to always get to them first.

Strawberries are pretty darn easy to grow yourself, if anyone's really that concerned about pesticides. Grow a whole mess and just freeze them.
