| Small molecules, such as found in grapes, olives, garlic, pomegranates and cherries, are able to pass through cell walls and the nucleus of cells to switch genes on or off. Small molecules like allicin from garlic, resveratrol from grapes, quercetin from onions, hy-droxytyrosol from olives, influence so many genes they are being heralded as the drugs of the future.
Many people falsely believe that to concede that alternative cancer therapies are ineffective gives tacit credence to often despised toxic conventional treatments. | | Bottom line: eat high ORAC antioxidant-rich fruits (apple peel, grapes, pomegranates, cherries, blueberries). Juicing may be advantageous but poses challenges in having to consume high volumes of food and to maintain fresh stocks in the kitchen. Greens formulas (drinks, powders) may or may not be advantageous and should be labeled for their ORAC values to help consumers evaluate their antioxidant power. The addition of a relatively small amount of fruit extracts to a multivitamin regimen could deliver the ORAC antioxidant power needed when the body is challenged by oxidative stress. |
