Polyphenols are the most abundant antioxidants in our diet, providing health through a variety of gene activating mechanisms. Resveratrol (the most potent), quercetin,catechins are polyphenols.Muscadine grapes have the highest content. The heart beats one hundred thousand times a day, cycling 6 quarts of blood through 60 thousand miles of blood vessels. Top cancer causing foods: hot dogs,processed meat and bacon,doughnuts,french fries,chips, crackers and cookies.Omega 3 blocks the factors that cause inflamation as does resveratrol.
