Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 I got to thinking about prunes and their very high nutruitive and anti-oxidant properties. Since prunes are simply dried plums, does anyone know why plums shouldn't also be in that category? Why is the dried version healthier?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Hello all, Long time no post but I thought to add my 2 euros worth now. Weren't Wolfberries the alltime tops in ORACs? I remember them being a whopping 25,000 units for the same amount of weight as prunes. They are found in Chinese stores or readily available over the net. Delicious and not too sweet. Talking about too sweet, I wash the raisens and prunes to get the sweetness (read insulin spike) down. best and thanks for a great list MM _________________________________________________________________ High-speed Internet access as low as $29.95/month (depending on the local service providers in your area).

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I agree, Wolfberries are nice. Their ORAC values are generally considered to be quite high, although there appear to be some variations in results from different testers. How does washing bring down the sweetness and insulin spike caused by prunes and raisins? Thanks " E-Mail is not to be used to pass on information or data.
