Which is more important – ORAC, polyphenols or anthocyanidins?
Although ORAC scores are an important measure of overall antioxidant capacity, it is even more important to look at the polyphenols, anthocyanidins and other specific nutrients that are giving the food or nutrient its high ORAC score. The nutritional benefits of a food are provided by the specific nutrients that make up the food, not its ORAC score.
