Department of Agriculture nutrition scientists have used the latest technologies to tabulate antioxidant levels in over 100 types of vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, and spices. Antioxidants are believed to help oppose damage done by molecules within the body – “free radicals” – that are associated with cancer and aging.
