What is the healthiest fruit in the world?

(I tried to fix the audio desync issue for 8 hours, and I have no idea why YouTube is screwing up the audio. The source file is perfectly sync'd). It's only bad in 2 spots for about 15 seconds total so hopefully it doesn't bother you too much. My apologies.)

So what is the healthiest fruit in the whole world? There may be a lot of debate, but it's very likely that the research and verdict may be in. In this video I talk about this incredible superfood, and as always, the focus is on peer reviewed SCIENCE. And I can tell you something else: I have been foraging this fruit for 4 years now, and I feel better than I have in my entire life. I may or may not have superpowers now.

Abundance of active ingredients in sea-buckthorn oil, Aleksandra Zielińska and Izabela Nowak, US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, which if you go to the article and look up Table 4, you will find a well referenced list of health benefits. I.e. each of the following is referenced to research. From that article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5438513/):
