Making Sense of Antioxidants
In
recent history the words, “high in antioxidants” started to appear on food
labels left and right. But what does that mean? What is considered high and why
is it important to have antioxidants and what do they do? Where should they get
antioxidants?

Getz gives people a very good first few steps into the understanding of
antioxidants in her article in Today’s Dietitian. She provides lists of
where to find which antioxidants, talks about supplementation, and even gives a
very refreshing opinion about the fact that scientist don’t have a complete
understanding of all of them or what they do so the science will continue to
change with time.
