Black Chokeberry (Aronia melancarpa) can grow to six feet height & width. The berries are commonly used to make juice, & there used to be a west coast company that distributred throughout the west & northwest a bottled alternative to cranberry juice, labeled "Aronia Berry Juice Cocktail," avoiding the name "chokeberry" lest people worry they might choke on it. It shares with bilberry, cranberry, & other fruit or fruit juices several healthful properties. A 2004 animal-modeled study (Matsumoto et al) conducted at the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition Faculty of Human Life Science at Fuji Women's University, showed that the antioxidant effects of chokeberry extract had a "gastroprotective" effect in treating acute gastric hemorrhagic lesions in rats, suggesting it might be an effective natural treatment for severe stomach problems in humans, including ulcers. A 2003 study (Malik et al) conducted at the Department of Nutrition and Food Science, University of Maryland, has provided preliminary indication of defense against colon cancer.
