comes from researches steered at the university Tufts in Boston (Absorption
capacity of the Oxygenated Radicals). The researchers took food as
the spinach, the garlic, the frizzy cabbage, and bombarded them with
free radicals to see how much they neutralized it. Measure integrated
by the degree according to which a sample of food inhibits the action
of an oxidizing agent and how much it sets of time. The method ORAC
is used to select food having a strong antioxidant power. The more
the value ORAC of the blood serum is increased after ingestion of
the food, the more the free radicals are neutralized..
The
value ORAC of fruits and vegetables covers a very wide range. You
can take 5 in 10 portions of fruits and\or vegetables with weak value
and consume only 1.300 units ORAC. Either takes 5 - 10 in strong value
and reach 6.000 units ORAC, or more. The experts recommend
consuming between 3.000 and 5.000 units ORAC a day be 2 oz of juice
health on base of aecia per day
