Publisher's Synopsis
Ever hear of astaxanthin? It is an antioxidant that is SIX THOUSAND TIMES more potent than Vitamin C. Did you know that grapes, raisins, grape juice and wines contain myricetin, one of the only nutrients that is BOTH an antioxidant and an oxidant that can help fight viruses? This book will explain what antioxidants, fiber and many other nutrients are and what they do for you. I also cover all of the main categories of phytonutrients - the active compounds in all plants - and provide dozens of examples and the foods in which they are found.
