ORACORAC stands for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity," and the measurement is expressed as "ORAC units per 100 grams" of a given food, herb or supplement.The ORAC scale is a standardized test used by the US Department of Agriculture to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements. The test gives us a precise method of determining the potency, or power of specific foods, herbs, supplements and compounds and their ability to destroy, or neutralize, free radicals in the body; in other words, their antioxidant power. The scale measures the amount of free oxygen radicals that a food, herb or supplement can absorb. What Are Free Radicals?Free radicals, or radicals, are atoms, molecules or ions with unpaired electrons. These highly reactive, molecules are unstable and contribute to the weakening of the body by destroying our cellular structure and making us more vulnerable to disease. When molecules in the body oxidize they become free radicals.Free radicals are generated during long term exposure to extremely low levels of radiation, which will exhaust our defenses unless our body has an abundant reserve of antioxidants. Please read the Radiation page to learn which normally health raw foods should be avoided as long as Fukushima is spewing radioactive elements. Many natural healthy foods healthy foods are goitrogens. When these goitrogenic foods are eaten raw, they prevent iodine uptake by the thyroid gland. I'll continue to eliminate certain healthy raw, organic foods for this reason until at least 90 days after Fukushima quits pouring radioactive Iodine into the environment. March 11, 2011 Fukushima changed the lives of everyone living in North America. In spite of what the media and other talking heads are saying low levels of radiation over a long period of time are very harmful. 50 Plus Natural Remedies For Radiation Fallout Protection  clearly outlines in detail what my favorite natural solutions are and why I comsider them to be vital for my health.

An antioxidant is a molecule that is able to inhibit the oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants, also know as free radical scavengers, can neutralize or destroy free radicals and prevent oxidative damage to our body. Antioxidants offer powerful protection, on a cellular level, for your body, to protect against oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Think of antioxidants as the Terminators of free radicals. Doesn't it make sense to have as many antioxidant Terminators on our side as possible? Free Oxygen Radicals are the bad guys formed in our bodies and create a chain reaction to damage healthy cells. Antioxidants are the good guy free radical scavengers, the Terminators who wipe out & eliminate the free radicals. There Is Good News! We're not helpless to defend ourselves against the bad guys, the free oxygen radicals. We just need the right, powerful friends. We need powerful Antioxidant Terminators to destroy the bad guys. So, how do you know which foods, herbs or supplements offer the most powerful protection from the damage caused by the free radicals? According to university research the higher the ORAC value, the more beneficial it is for the body. The FDA has recommended that people should increase their antioxidant consumption to 7000 ORAC units a day to help lower their risk of Cancer. As you can imagine, more could be better. The ORAC is just one important value of a food. Eating foods with high ORAC values becomes critically important. Keep in mind that the ORAC measurements are based on 100 grams or about 3.5 oz of a food, herb or supplement. While we can easily eat a 3.5 oz apple, we're not likely to sit down and eat 100 grams or 3.5 oz of Cinnamon. ORAC charts are just a tool. We took the ORAC values from the USDA May 2010 chart. You'll find other sources with wide ranges of values for foods. What's important isn't the exact ORAC rating, since any food is composed of many other important beneficial nutrients. It's also important to keep in mind that just because a particular food or herb may have a high ORAC value, that value will be significantly different if the food is GMO, frozen, not fresh, canned etc. It may not have any nutritional value. Refer to the Dirty Dozen to choose only organic foods if you're concerned about their antioxidant capapabilities. In a perfect world, it's always better to eat fresh, raw food right from your garden. Flavor is at it's peak and nothing can compete, but when that isn't possible choosing the next best option is better than not including real food in your routine. The USDA didn't publish some of the ancient and more important natural healthy native foods such as Maca Extreme (raw, organic) ORAC Values of 40 Foods, Herbs & Spices
