Add Section 3.5 — Berries: comprehensive deep-dive on botanical diversity, anthocyanins, and framework significance. Botanical taxonomy clarification (true berries vs aggregate fruits vs accessory fruits): only blueberry of the four common 'berries' is botanically a true berry. Strawberry achene story (150-200 achenes per fruit, each a separate dry one-seeded fruit; flesh is enlarged receptacle tissue). Raspberry/blackberry drupelet structure. Three framework consequences of seed architecture: polyphenol distribution (seeds polyphenol-rich), PUFA load from seeds (intact seeds resist digestion but berry seed oil supplements bypass this — framework caution), fibre delivery. Anthocyanin chemistry: 6 dominant anthocyanidins per berry; bioavailability paradox resolved via microbial metabolites (protocatechuic acid etc), local gut effects, tissue accumulation. Documented systemic effects (vascular, anti-inflammatory, cognitive — Krikorian 2010, glucose, microbiome, antiplatelet). Other polyphenols: ellagitannin → urolithin A pathway with converter caveat (~30-40% population), type-A PACs in cranberry (UTI mechanism — P-fimbriae anti-adhesion), pterostilbene, fisetin, quercetin, resveratrol. 17 individual berry profiles (blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, strawberry, red/black raspberry, blackberry, currants, gooseberry, mulberry with DNJ, goji, acai, sea buckthorn with palmitoleic acid, lingonberry, aronia, maqui, camu camu, sour cherry). Glycemic load comparison. Frozen vs fresh (frozen wild blueberries often superior). Pesticide considerations (strawberries #1 EWG Dirty Dozen). Berry seed oil supplements caution. Strongly aligned verdict; recommended pattern. 15 references.
