The benefits of antioxidant vitamins are certainly not inclusive only with cancer prevention. The benefits of antioxidant vitamins also include heart protection, especially with natural antioxidants such as flavonoids, organosulfurs, isoflavones, and sterols. Certain flavonoids, found in both black and green tea, dark chocolate, onions, red wine or red grape juice, and apples, appear to have the strong heart protective benefits of antioxidant vitamins. In a 2003 study, people who consumed the most flavonoids in foods had a 20% lower risk for heart disease than those with low consumption. Flavonoids may also protect against the damage done by cholesterol and help prevent blood clots.
In the scientific world, this antioxidant vitamin is known as ascorbic acid. It is water-soluble and its name means without scurvy, scurvy being a disease caused by a deficiency of this antioxidant vitamin. Many aspects of our biochemical functioning depend a lot on ascorbic acid. The only problem is that among the handful of animal species that cannot produce their own supply of antioxidant vitamin C, human beings are one. Thus, like other animals, including primates and guinea pigs, we have no choice but to obtain our antioxidant vitamins from our diet.
A group of USDA scientists have come up with a study which suggests that among the highest fruits for best antioxidants, purple berries are even higher than blueberries and cranberries. Their preliminary laboratory studies told them that the elderberry, black currant, and chokeberry collectively known as purple berries due to their dark color are as much as 50 percent higher in best antioxidants than some of the more common berry varieties. This further proves that purple berries are the best antioxidant source and have the potential to provide more health benefits, from boosting the immune system, cutting down cholesterol, and preventing the onset of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimers, cancer, and heart disease.
