    Thanks for all the videos- in a quick search, there’s one thing that I haven’t seen so far, and that’s a general anti-oxidant video. In other words, it’s one thing to inhibit oxidation in a lab and another to demonstrate value in people. If you have any great insights into that more basic topic, I’d very much appreciate it. Thanks again!

      That is an excellent point! These videos are taken from my Latest in Clinical Nutrition DVD series, and as such talk more about the cutting-edge work and may neglect some of the basics. I do cover antioxidant fundamentals in my Stopping Cancer DVD. May be too large to upload for this site, but I’ll try to get it up on youtube.

    What is the optimal way to get acai in the US?

    is monavie (see monavie.com juice) and other acai juieces denatured and therefore unhelpful for getting the maximum/optimal ORAC/antioxidants?

    Is frozen acai (like sambozan) ineffective (freezing fruit compromises the cell wall, etc)? If so, what is currently on the market for acai (bioavailable, etc)

      Hello evan,

      Check out Genesis Today Acai juice from your local whole foods or other health store. Or, buy online! They use the entire acai fruit rather then just squeezing out its juice. I have used it in the past and its good quality.

      Its important that the whole fruit is used because juicing is not nearly as beneficial: http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/fruit-juice-fail/

    hit the ‘return” key too quickly on previous post. please pardon…

    What acai option in the market/grocery offers optimal antioxidants/ORAC?

    Are acai juices effective?

    Are acai frozen packs effective?

    Hi Dr. Greger,
    I would love to get a sample of the daily meal plans that you have. This would be helpful in guiding us in maximizing the nutrients and anti-oxidants that we consume. Have you ever published such samples?
    Thanks,
    Anne
