isoflavonoids, derived from 3-phenylchromen-4-one (3-phenyl-1,4-benzopyrone) structure; neoflavonoids, derived from 4-phenylcoumarin (4-phenyl-1,2-benzopyrone) structure; The three flavonoid classes above are all ketone-containing compounds and as such, anthoxanthins (flavones and flavonols). [1] This class was the first to be termed bioflavonoids.
Natural phenols are a class of molecules found in abundance in plants. Many common foods contain rich sources of polyphenols which have antioxidant properties only in test tube studies. As interpreted by the Linus Pauling Institute, dietary polyphenols have little or no direct antioxidant food value following digestion. [7]
As foods vary by brands and stores, the figures should only be considered estimates, with more exact figures often included on product labels. For precise details about vitamins and mineral contents, the USDA source can be used. [1] To use the tables, click on "show" or "hide" at the far right for each food category.
The US Food and Drug Administration has finalized new standards that foods must meet before they can be labeled as “healthy.”. Requirements now include limits on saturated fat, sodium and ...
Alkaline ash is produced by fruits and vegetables, except cranberries, prunes and plums. Since the acid or alkaline ash designation is based on the residue left on combustion rather than the acidity of the food, foods, such as citrus fruits, that are generally considered acidic are actually considered alkaline producing in this diet.

The current criteria, established in 1994, is "very outdated," Claudine Kavanaugh, director of the FDA's Human Food Program's Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling, said at the news conference.
Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) was a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples in vitro. [1] [2] Because no physiological proof in vivo existed in support of the free-radical theory or that ORAC provided information relevant to biological antioxidant potential, it was withdrawn in 2012.
Zani’s grandma may not have given a scientific explanation, but there definitely is one: carrots are an alkaline-rich vegetable with a high pH, so introducing them to the sauce helps to bring up ...
