Most POWERFUL of Superfoods

Superfoods are those foods that are packed with vitamins and minerals. As mentioned below, getting your anti-oxidants from pills may be bad for some of you. But getting your anti-oxidants from food, is likely good for you. The China Study reinforces the need to eat fresh, non-meat, non-dairy.

Among the most potent superfoods are two that are rarely mentioned in North America. However, they are rapidly gaining attention and are certainly well known among nutrition-conscious people. One is the Goji Berry, also known as the Wolfberry, and the other is acai, pronounced "ah say ee" berries.

While the goji comes in a drink or in berry form, the acai is available in drink or powder form. The goji berry that is available, looks a lot like a dried cranberry--reddish and shrivelled. Both of these berries rate very high on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Goji, for example scores higher than 7x that of blueberries; acai, much higher than that.

If you want anti-oxidants, The China Study implies that we ought to take our anti-oxidants from natural foods. Goji and acai are natural foods.

Here's hoping you stay healthy or become healthier.
