~MealMakeoverTV, I think I was commenting Your video and my post seems to have disappeared.

It's a shame because I was hoping to get an answer why blackcurrants haven't been listed even though they are known to contain more anthocyanins than blueberries, cranberries, grapes, apples etc. plus they have record ammounts of vitamin C????

I suggested that maybe the study investigates only the most promoted products on American market.

[MealMakeoverTV]

I think you are right. When the USDA conducted their tests, they may have included the most popular fruits and veggies .. thus, black currants are probably a super fruit as well. The way I look at it, the more fruits and veggies we all eat, the better!

Thanks for your comment.

What do you do with red beans that a 6 year old will eat?

[MealMakeoverTV]

I don't understand your question? Can you pose it another way? I'd be more than happy to get back to you on this!

Next time while researching you might discover the Acai berry being the #1 anti-oxidant available.

[MealMakeoverTV]

Thanks for your comment. The segment we did focused on the USDA evaluation of 100 fruits and vegetables. The Acai berry was not included in that particular research project, which is why we did not address it.

We appreciate the heads up and will certainly consider an Acai berry segment in the future!

I also asked why wild and cultivated blueberries differ in antioxidant levels?? This is very weird.

BTW bilberries (easily available where I live) have much more antioxidants than blueberries.

Antioxidants are useless

[therunningpianist42]

Antioxidants are not exclusively plant chemicals. They can be found in any healthy animal.

Also, you should mention sprouting when talking about legumes and grains, as it neutralizes enzyme-inhibitors, and can boost micro-nutrients by up to 8-fold. Otherwise, great video!

chookter1, even pure dark chocolate?

[miketonon]

What about turmeric, garlic and acai?

[meganfox550]

how do you feel about protein powders?

[LZKS]

@BurntToast422 Absolutely. The whole antioxidants is way over-stressed anyways. Antioxidants stop oxidation reaction which is actually NECESSARY for life. Overdose will only cause body to counter it. The only reason why you would ever lack antioxidants is if you only eat meat and carbos with no veggies at all. Ultimately, it's just balance. Stupid Americans spending millions on antioxidants.
