Antioxidants provide around-the-clock defenses against free-radical damage to your arteries. Researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University measured various fruits for their ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity), a fancy way of saying their antioxidant power. Here are the top 10 performers.
With all due respect to Pandora's Pantry, would I be able to walk into my supermarket and find camu or maqui? And what is a powergrape? I must come to RD defense and say that although you seem knowledgeable with regard to variety of healthy fruit, at least I know that the fruit on this list is familiar, easy to find and readily available to me.

this list is a joke...what about maqui and what about powergrape, and what about muscadine, and what about mulberry...this list is bogus..what about camu ..the list goes on and on..and..well I don't think the research is well developed...especially for Readers Digest! Shame on You!

Are they all fruits found in America.? Then why do so many people in America have cancer?
I am sure there are tropical fruits as well. Could you explore that for us?
Thank you

Why didn't you include pomegranates. They are the highest antioxidant fruit that is readily available to the consumer. That omission invalidates the accuracy of this report.
