What about antioxidants and cancer? That was the subject of my last video Food Antioxidants and Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-and-cancer). Which foods have the highest antioxidant content? See: • Anti-up on the Veggies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-up-on-the-veggies/) • Antioxidants in a Pinch (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidants-in-a-pinch/) • Best Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-berries/) • Better Than Goji Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-goji-berries/) • Better Than Green Tea? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-green-tea/) • The Best Apple (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/the-best-apple/) • The Best Beans (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/the-best-bean-2/) • The Best Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/the-best-nut-2/) • The Fruit Whose Juice is Healthier (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-fruit-whose-juice-is-healthier/) • The Healthiest Herbal Tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-herbal-tea/) It’s the heme iron in chicken blood that may be contributing to fat oxidation in the stomach. That’s one of the targets of the Meat Additives to Diminish Toxicity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-additives-to-diminish-toxicity/). More on reducing stroke risk can be found in my videos Preventing Strokes with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-strokes-with-diet/) and Whole Grains May Work As Well As Drugs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whole-grains-may-work-as-well-as-drugs/). I have more than 150 videos on heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/heart-disease). Heart Disease Starts in Childhood (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-disease-starts-in-childhood/) and One in a Thousand Ending the Heart Disease Epidemic (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/one-in-a-thousand-ending-the-heart-disease-epidemic/) are among two of the most recent. Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-antioxidants-stroke-and-heart-disease/ and he’ll try to answer it!
