Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I guess I don't take Vitamin C as I get enough from fruits, veggies etc... Here is an article on it. Fruits and berries rank highest in antioxidant content among foods 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 (see related ebook on antioxidants) in food. Be sure to read the related article, Blueberries, cranberries, strawberries all contain powerful phytochemicals that fight cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and more.See more articles like this one at www.Fruits-Veggies.org Reilly <setlikeflint@...> wrote: I get my MSM from KAL at a health food store in capsules. It's not bitter that way. I do know that you need Vitamin C on a daily basis as part of your antioxidants. I take more if I feel a cold coming on or a headache. Do know why it helps heacaches, but I usually take at least 1000 mg for that. mary Suzi What is a weed?
