Goji Berries to the Rescue.
A study from Tufts University in Boston ranks the antioxidant value of commonly eaten fruits and vegetables using an analysis called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). This is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances
What are antioxidants? They protect agains cellular damage, and oxidation caused by free radicals that are around us every day. They are effective to prevent retinal diseases like macular degen. Some antioxidants that we know of are Vitamin C, E, and beta carotene to name a few. Some people forget that some vitamin antioxidant supplements are very popular but the most important part of the nutrients is in the foods we eat.
Ratings for fruits ORAC units per 100 grams (about 3" ounces) Fruits: Goji Berry- Up to 25,000 ORAC levels, only certain companies look for the best, Prunes -- 5570, Raisins -- 2830, Blueberries -- 2400, Blackberries -- 2036, Strawberries -- 1540, Raspberries -- 1220, Plums -- 949, Oranges -- 750, Red grapes -- 739, Cherries -- 670, Kiwi fruit -- 602, Grapefruit, pink -- 483
Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum) have long played an important role in traditional Eastern medicine, where the berries are primarily renowned for promoting longevity. They are thought to extend the life of a person through their powerful antioxidant action, thereby protecting them from premature aging. They are used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where they are believed to enhance immune system function, improve eyesight, protect the liver, and improve circulation, among other effects.
Goji berries contain 19 amino acids, including all 8 essential ones, 21 trace minerals, including germanium (anti-cancer, rarely found in foods), 13% protein, a complete spectrum of carotenoids (the richest source of all known foods), vitamins C, B, E, and essential fatty acids. They contain compounds known to be anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and active against all forms of leukemia. In addition, goji contains bioactive polysaccharides - produced by some plants as an extremely effective defense against attack by viruses, bacteria, fungi, soil-borne parasites, cell mutations, toxic pollutants, and environmental free radicals. - 17268
