Antioxidants Prevent Disease and Cancer

The Chinese Cancer Prevention Study (1993 showed that antioxidants Backyard Healing Herbs Review beta-carotene, vitamin E and selenium significantly reduced incidence of cancer. However, the Alpha-Tocopherol / Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study (1994) showed that beta-carotene increased lung cancer rates amongst male smokers. Antioxidants may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, although there is no hard proof for this at the moment. Studies have shown however, that foods naturally rich in antioxidants reduces the risk of heart disease.

ORAC Score

An Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity or ORAC score is the result of scientifically measuring the antioxidant levels of food and other substances. If a food has a high ORAC score, the food is high in antioxidants and thus eating the food would prevent the damage caused by oxygen free radicals which may result in diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

The ORAC score measures all antioxidants in foods and was developed by Dr. Guohua Cao, a chemist and physician. It is difficult to measure each antioxidants separately, but the ORAC score test picks out the most important antioxidants. Combinations of nutrients in foods are more beneficial than consuming each nutrient individually. Although many people aim to fulfil their daily intake of nutrients by taking pills, the best way to receive the maximum benefits of antioxidants may be directly from consuming fruits and vegetables rather than supplements.

Some foods have higher antioxidant levels as measured by ORAC scores. It is recommended that "5-a-day" fruit and vegetable servings will give you an ORAC score of 1,750 units. Depending on what you choose, if you pick seven fruits with low ORAC scores you would achieve only 1,300 ORAC score, or you could pick seven fruits with high ORAC values and receive around 6,000 ORAC score or higher.
