Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Have you heard of ORAC Value? Nutritionists suggest that people consume 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day to have an impact on health. Tart cherry products contain up to 12,800 ORAC units per 100 grams. Other fruits range from 700 to 5,700 ORAC units per 100 grams. (See chart at http://www.echerryjuice.com) Brunswick Labs discovered that tart cherries contain a class of compounds called SOD (super oxide dismutase), which act as super scavengers of dangerous free radicals, destroying them throughout the body. This is a significant discovery because very few natural foods contain SOD and the human body is often lacking SOD. Antioxidants fight against the free radicals that interfere with our health so this is why the cherry juice is another reason it makes people feel better. There is more research on the health benefits of cherry juice at this link: http://www.royalridgefruits.com They seem to have the best price on the concentrate and One ounce is like eating 100 cherries a day without ill effects. Something worth looking into. --------------------------------- Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
