Re: Another Reason to Put Lemon in your TEA?

[Guest guest]

I was interested in this:

Baghurst said oranges have the highest

level of antioxidants of all fruit, with more

than 170 different phytochemicals,

including more than 60 flavonoids shown

to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and

blood clot inhibiting properties.

First it was blueberries with the most anitoxidants - then cranberries, now

oranges???? In our file I believe we have prunes as very high (although

calorically dense). In order to optimize our diets (and limit fruit which

is rather high in calories, where do we get the most bang for the buck?

I make a fruit salad every night for out " dessert " and try to include a

little of 3-5 different fruits (I rotate the type) but I'm interested in

where to put most of my limited eating of fruits.
