The Power & Beauty of Blue Recent USDA studies show that Blueberries are a tasty way to eat right and stay healthy. Scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging ranked blueberries number 1 in antioxidant activity compared with 40 other commercially available fruits and vegetables. That
means a serving of blueberries may have more of the antioxidant power you need to fight aging, cancer, and heart disease. Blueberries have emerged as the top antioxidant capacity fruit in a laboratory testing  procedure called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)
developed by the USDA. ORAC has become the definitive measurement of antioxidant capacity. (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 44:701-705; 3343-3426, 1996; 46:2686-2693, 1998) Every day, the cells in our body wage a battle against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that are associated with
cancer, heart disease and the effects of aging. Antioxidants, natural substances found in blueberries and other fruits and vegetables, come to the rescue, neutralizing free radicals and keeping us healthy. |
