A new database of antioxidant values for a wide range of foods is now online. The main application will be in ongoing research on the purported health benefits of antioxidants. For example, many fruits and vegetables are known to be good sources of antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E, C, and beta-carotene, but these natural foods also contain other compounds, collectively known as phytonutrients, that may contribute to health effects. You can find the ORAC database here.
