Even plant foods in the same color group have unique anti-oxidant cocktails, so variety is better than limiting oneself to so-called superfoods. A recent Science Daily article quoted a nutrition expert as saying that longevity isn't correlated any particular foods so much as overall dietary habits. I notice you blogging Science Daily stuff nowadays. Great website, isn't it? Its sister site News Daily is good, too, although there is a lot of overlap in the health/medicine section.

I think that as long as we make what is healthy and what is not as confusing as possible real goals might not be met. It would be nice if USDA people could come up with a more comprehensive user friendly chart to go by. I would have to agree mr or mrs. arthur.

Very poor chart makers, those USDA folks. With so much unorganized or extraneous data, I guess I can see how it might take 3 years to come up with something better.</p> ;) I just spent the last five minutes trying to decipher the US department of Agriculture’s ORAC chart.
