Natural antioxidants may be the best kind, diet expert says
Monday 22nd March 2010
In advice which may be of interest to those with dietician jobs, an expert has said that natural sources of antioxidants may be more effective than synthetic ones.
According to Carina Norris, spokesperson for the British Nutrition Foundation, using pills for this purpose tends to fail to produce the same results as when the "food form" is eaten.
She made her comments in the wake of the release of research from a team of Spanish scientists, which showed that cloves have high levels of phenolic compounds.
For this reason, they have been dubbed a 'super spice' as a result of their potential as antioxidants.
Ms Norris remarked: "Many antioxidants have natural sources and a lot of people would prefer to see their food preserved using natural compounds - such as those found in Mediterranean herbs and spices."
She added that vitamin C is another good source of such health benefits.
