A new study published in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke concludes that "...dietary TAC [total antioxidant capacity] is inversely associated with total stroke among CVD [cardiovascular disease]-free women and hemorrhagic stroke among women with CVD history." The study examined the association between dietary antioxidant intake and incidence of stroke in a cohort of more than 36,000 women. The ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) assay was used as the marker for total antioxidant capacity.
Jin Ji, PhD, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Brunswick Labs, remarked, "This encouraging study validates the usefulness of ORAC in biomedical research." Dr. Ji noted that the correlation between ORAC-rich diets and positive health outcomes is consistent with other studies that have been published in recent years.
