Can anyone give me a list of antioxidant fruits?
Sorry to just cut and paste, but… blueberries seem to be number one, and the answer above about colour is correct i believe. I googled ‘antioxidant fruit’ Summary In a major study on fruit and vegetable antioxidant content published in the June 9 2004 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, berries won easily in terms of the amount of antioxidant for the price. Antioxidants are disease fighting compounds that scientists believe help repair and/or prevent the stress of oxidation, a process that occurs naturally during normal cell function. This comprehensive study used cutting-edge technology to gauge antioxidant levels in more than 100 foods, among them fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads, nuts, and spices. Among the fruits studied, cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries ranked highest. But although some fruits and vegetables have a high antioxidant content, the body may not absorb all of it because of bioavailability, which is tied to the mechanical structure of antioxidants
