    The document summarizes research into the medicinal properties of berries from two plant species: Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive) and Lindera benzoin (spicebush). Tests found that autumn olive berries contained antioxidants and ascorbic acid levels comparable to apples. Both berry types contained antioxidant power four times greater than BHT, a common food preservative. While tests did not conclusively determine anti-tumor properties due to limited trials, the berries show potential as healthier, safer, and inexpensive alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs.
