What is known to scientific fact is that damage by oxygen free radicals is a contributing factor in many of the problems associated with aging, particularly cardiovascular disease and cancer. Oxygen free radicals attack DNA, causing cell mutation that in turn prevents natural cell death. Antioxidants, such as ORAC, have an innate ability to seek and destroy oxygen free radicals. This is why foods that have high ORAC values, such as the potent black raspberry, are so essential to a healthy daily diet. Generally
speaking, dark-colored berries are naturally high in flavonoids and phenolics
(such as anthocyanins and ellagic acid, making them strong antioxidants. This is
particularly true in the case of black raspberries--they contain almost twice
the amount of phenolic content found in other berries.
