For example, bilirubin and uric acid are both beneficial antioxidants, but become dangerous when present in high concentrations. Liver disease can, for instance, lead to the very high levels of bilirubin that are responsible for the yellow skin discoloration known as jaundice. Kidney disease and gout are conditions associated with toxic levels of uric acid.

The consumption of a wide array of antioxidants is essential if we are to provide ourselves with comprehensive protection against oxidative stress. As some of these are effective against certain free radicals but not others, consuming an assortment of antioxidants ensures that our bodies are able to tackle all free radical species. This enables the antioxidants to work optimally, as many operate synergistically with one another. Vitamin C, for instance, protects other antioxidants like vitamin E from being neutralized by free radicals.

Moreover, different antioxidants tend to locate preferentially in different types of tissues and cells. For example, melatonin, an antioxidant hormone produced by the body (and also found in some spices like ginger) can cross the blood-brain barrier; a property that makes it particularly effective in protecting brain cell DNA. The powerful antioxidants lycopene and vitamin E are only effective in lipid-containing areas, while yet other antioxidants work more efficiently in the "watery" parts of tissues and cells.

The best way to obtain a wide variety of antioxidants, in optimal amounts, is to eat an extensive selection of antioxidant-rich foods. As a general rule, strongly colored or strongly flavored plants contain the greatest quantity and range of antioxidant compounds. Amongst the fruits, for example, the richly colored berries, like blueberries, cranberries and raspberries, contain many antioxidants as do other fruits, grains and vegetables.

However, it is the spices that have the highest antioxidant concentrations of all food groups and they are the best source of these vital compounds -- some contain over 25 different antioxidants! Although all spices contain generous quantities of antioxidants, those richest in these substances are oregano, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, clove. In fact the top five antioxidant foods in the USA (including all fruit and vegetables) are these five spices!

By consuming anti-oxidant rich foods like spices with every meal we provide our bodies with the best means to fend off the relentless onslaught of free radicals and oxidative stress.
