PRUNE FACTS: Prunes
have more than twice the level of antioxidants than other high scoring
fruits, such as raisins, blueberries or blackberries, according to a study
by U.S. Dept. of Agriculture scientists at Tufts University. In
fact, all four of those fruits have more oxygen radical absorbance
capacity (ORAC) units, which are used to determine the value of
antioxidants in food, than such top-scoring vegetables as kale, spinach,
brussels sprouts, alfalfa sprouts or broccoli flowers, which many
consumers incorrectly perceive are healthier than let's say, raisins.
Moreover, many fruits like raisins or
prunes provide a good dose of dietary fiber, which may reduce the risk of
some types of cancer and help reduce cholesterol levels, in some cases. |
