DESCRIPTION: Even nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day may not reach the minimum recommended intake of antioxidants if one doesn't make the right choices.
This is that laser study I talked about: Antioxidant Level Dynamics (nutritionfacts.org/video/antio....
What do I mean by daily minimum of antioxidants? You must have missed my last video, Minimum Recommended Daily Allowance of Antioxidants (nutritionfacts.org/video/minim....
I used a similar technique to illustrate the potent antioxidant power of spices. See Antioxidants in a Pinch (nutritionfacts.org/video/antio....
All fruits and veggies aren't the same. I make this point in different ways in videos like Which Fruit Fights Cancer Better? (nutritionfacts.org/video/which...) and Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidants (nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-....
I have a series of videos on which foods have the most antioxidants. See Antioxidant Content of 3,139 Foods (nutritionfacts.org/video/antio...) and Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods (nutritionfacts.org/video/antio.... Note these are measured based on test tube tests. There are more sophisticated ways to measure antioxidant activity. See Anti Up on the Veggies (nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-....
What's the cheapest common source of whole food antioxidants? See Superfood Bargains (nutritionfacts.org/video/super...) for a dollar per dollar comparison. What's the cheapest uncommon source? See Dragon's Blood (nutritionfacts.org/video/drago....
Are there diminishing returns to getting too many antioxidants? See Maxing Out on Antioxidants (nutritionfacts.org/video/maxin....
So if we have that bowl of berries in the morning to meet our minimum daily antioxidant needs can we just call it a day?. Hint: the title of my next video is: Antioxidant Rich Foods With Every Meal (nutritionfacts.org/video/antio....
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at nutritionfacts.org/video/how-t... and he'll try to answer it!
