The antioxidant activity of citrus juices and other foods is
undervalued. A new technique developed by researchers from the University of
Granada for measuring this property generates values that are ten times higher
than those indicated by current analysis methods.
The results suggest that
tables on the antioxidant capacities of food products that dieticians and
health authorities use must be revised.
Orange juice and juices from other citrus fruits are
considered healthy due to their high content of antioxidants, which help to
reduce harmful free radicals in our body, but a new investigation shows that
their benefits are greater than previously thought.
