I didn't know anything about antioxidant's (except that
they were good for me)UNTIL,...my son became ill with a
(un-curable) health condition.
Then my wife attended American Medical Association
certified Continuing Education classes for doctors, nurses,
etc. (AMA CE) and learned the need for antioxidants, the
various strengths of antioxidants, and the marketing tricks
being done with antioxidants - most of which the public is
completely unaware of.
Here's some of what she learned as we found complete
recovery for our son's health challenge,...via the power of
antioxidants in nature (instead of using symptom
suppressing toxic drugs that often have significant
negative side effects).
1. The marketing label you see in the health food store
regarding antioxidant (ORAC=Oxygen Radical Absorption
Capacity) can be mis-leading - often is.
2. Over 90 products from the shelves have been analyzed
and here's what they found:
A. 3 products touting "antioxidant" power actually had a
pro-oxidizing effect -- that means they acted the opposite
of how they were advertised.
B. 1800 units of lab tested ORAC value was the average of
the other 87 products. There was no industry test for
checking "fat soluble" antioxidant capacity (only the water
soluble capacity was being addressed).
C. The highest test results showed an ORAC (water soluble)
capacity of just over 5,000 units of protection per gram.
What's actually available to the informed, is antioxidants
from natural food that provide over 17,000 Units of
Protection per gram. That's nearly 10 times the protection
of the average product on the market and almost 3x the
level of protection of the most potent antioxidant
currently available on the health food shelves.
On item 1 above. Here's how some marketers mislead with
their ORAC labels.
They state the bottles entire ORAC level of protection,
versus comparing units of antioxidant protection per gram
or per equal serving.
So,...now you understand ORAC and the value of comparing
gram to gram when you buy.
If you want to learn more, including WHY antioxidant
protection is EXTREMELY Important - according to AMA CE
classes we learned from...
You can learn our son's real life, short story and learn
that DEET chemicals have been found in Peguins (floated in
the air to the poles via the jetstream they expect) - you
think there may be toxicity around you? How about the 100
cites tested - all positive for antibiotics in their
drinking water -- do you understand the vast oxidative
stress this puts on our bodies?
You need to understand antioxidants to enjoy top notch
quality of life in today's world. According to AMA
certified CE, Oxidative stress IS THE ROOT CAUSE of All
Illnesses (excluding trauma and genetic issues).
