What is an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) Score and is it Meaningful?
Many nutritional products advertise an ORAC score. What is an ORAC score? Is it of any importance to us? Is it better to have a high or a low ORAC score? What is a “good” ORAC score? These are the questions that will be addressed in this article.
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. An ORAC score is a test tube analysis that measures the antioxidant levels of food or other chemical substances. Mangosteen products (mangosteen juice, mangosteen tea, mangosteen extract) often advertise an ORAC value. If a food has a high ORAC score, this means that the food is high in antioxidants. The antioxidant’s power is it’s ability to eliminate oxygen free radicals. A higher ORAC score means that the ability to fight diseases is stronger.
Oxygen radicals are chemicals that form naturally inside the body through the process of oxidation. Activities we perform every day such as physical motion and digestion produce oxygen radicals. Exposure to rancid food, polluted air, the sun and electricity also contribute to oxygen radicals. Foods or supplements with a high ORAC score may be able to protect cells from oxidative damage.
Think of the wood used in an outdoor patio as an example of oxidation. When you first build and paint your nice and shiny deck and patio in your back yard it looks so nice. Ten, twenty, or thirty years later when your house is on the market and retirement is around the bend that deck, if it still exists, doesn’t look as nice any more. Rain, air and the outdoor elements have just taken their toll on the wood. In a similar manner, organs, cells and other parts of the body can be weakened by oxidation. This leads to problems such as cancer and heart diseases.
The ORAC score covers all the antioxidants in foods, which cannot be easily measured separately. The ORAC test can identify which nutrients are the important antioxidants. It’s a matter of symbiosis; combinations of nutrients found in food may have greater protective benefits than each nutrient on its own.
Different types of fruit and vegetables have different ORAC scores. It we eat the recommended 5 helpings of fruits and vegetables; we will have, on average, an ORAC score of 1,750 units. If we are careful and pick fruits with high ORAC scores we can do much better. And or course, we can also do worse. You may be surprised to know that an extremely high ORAC score comes from blueberries. A large handful would give an ORAC score of about 6,000. And they taste so good too!
Studies have shown that eating food with a high ORAC score will raise the antioxidant levels In the blood by about approximately 10% – 25%. Experts suggest that an ORAC score of around 5,000 units per day is necessary to have a significant effect on blood and tissue antioxidant levels. It would take about 8 to 10 brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens to achieve this level. That is hard to do. As we begin to notice ORAC scores on some of the food and supplements we purchase it will not hurt to take notice. ORAC scores of 5,000 or higher are recognized as a significant level.

You're typing this on a computer, aren't you?
You haven't died of smallpox or diptheria have you?
Have you ever had an operation? Did you require anaesthesia? Antibiotics?
Are you wearing any clothes which contain synthetic fibres?
Does your home contain any electrically-powered appliances?
> "Why is science so dangerous?"
Science is simply a method of rationally investigating the universe by empirical experiment and observation. It is no more or less dangerous than any other tool humanity uses.
> "Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications?"
Of course not.
> "Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances?"
Yes – but it is important that they should.
Any actions of humans – whether scientific or anything else – should always be weighed against morality.
> "What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science?"
That depends what the particular study is setting-out to acheive, and what their odds of success are.
> "What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?"
This isn't possible to know. But we can hope for quite a few things (new treatments for bacterial and viral infection, new crops to solve the food crisis, alternative energy sources for power-generation, etc.)

Zooplanktons – tiny marine animals – use the oxygen minimum zones as refuges from predators, migrating vertically down into the zone during the day and returning at night to feed in the oxygen and food-rich areas closer to the surface. But now, these oxygen minimum zones are predicted to expand into shallower waters as global warming continues, which will force the zooplankton into a narrow band of water during the night and making them susceptible to their main …

Check to see if your library has a media center which will allow you to digitize the video by capturing it on their computer.
You can also buy a capture card for your computer that accepts analog video. You hook up your analog (RCA) composite video cords from your camera to the card/device that connects to your computer. You will need a computer program that can convert the video from your capture card to a digital video file. I am not sure but I think that the capture card may come with video capture software.
These capture cards can connect to your computer as hardware or you can buy one that connects via USB port. here are some examples:

Evans II Ices regulate much of the chemistry during star formation and account for up to 80% of the available oxygen and carbon. In this paper, we use the Spitzer c2d ice survey, complimented with data sets on ices in cloud cores and high-mass protostars, to determine standard ice abundances and to present a coherent picture of the evolution of ices during low- and high-mass star formation. The median ice composition H2O:CO:CO2:CH3OH:NH3:CH4:XCN is 100:29:29:3:5:5:0.3 and 100:13:13:4:5:2:0.6 toward low- and high-mass protostars, respectively, and 100:31:38:4:-:-:- in cloud cores. In the low-mass sample, the ice abundances with respect to H2O of CH4, NH3, and the component of CO2 mixed with H2O typically vary by <25%, indicative of co-formation with H2O. In contrast, some CO and CO2 ice components, XCN and CH3OH vary by factors…

Malaga, Spain ( free-pressrelease.org ) November 03, 2011 – Clinica Fertia, one of the top fertility clinics in Spain, has incorporated these new state-of-the-art incubators for embryo culture into the clinic’s laboratory. These low-oxygen incubators offer an increased chance of healthy embryo development due to having growing conditions similar to the womb. The state-of-the-art incubators for embryo culture with low oxygen concentrations have increased effectiveness and safety for assisted reproduction treatments. The main candidates who will benefit from this growing technique are those patients who have suffered repeated implantation failures or those who respond to medication only slightly and therefore produce just a few oocytes. Patients who medically have up to now been considered to be low responders and who have had a bad prognosis are potential candidates for this growing technique. Previously the embryos were cultured at concentrations around 20% oxygen, which is different…

Here we are at this time of the year again and here I’m single again. For what ever reason it seems that I can have relationships at every other time of the year but this one! I dont really understand why that is but I’m looking to change it. I dont think that I’m too picky of a man, I’m not as centered around looks as some of my friends and I feel more about chemistry than anything else. I feel that some people can have a great relationship even if they dont have as much in common, some times opposites attract you know! I’m the type of man that likes to enjoy every part of life no matter how simple or silly it is. If you think that youre the man for me then e-mail me and we can find out!
