Do powdered drinks give out more free radicals?
I read in a magazine instant coffee does not have the same effect as whole coffee beans that are freshly brewed because it does not have alot of antioxidants and instead is filled with free radicals.
Is this the same for all powdered drinks like milk and chocolate?
Answers:
"free" radicals come from cooked foods. thus it is not true that ALL powdered drinks have free radicals. instant coffee is instant because it has been brewed then dried thus there will be fewer antioxidants because it is not all natural than coffee beans. you should not fear drinking powdered drinks because of free radicals. there are more free radicals when you cook food than drinking or brewing.
