Which fruit has the highest antioxidants? Blueberry, pomegranet or acae?
Answers:
Blueberries! A cup of blueberries has 80 Colories and provides 31% RDA of Vit. C, 20% mangananese, 4 grams fiber. Antioxidants contained in Blues consist of: 1. Anthocyandins which enhance health of all tissues, protect the Cardiovascular system, protect the brain from oxidative stress, and improve brain function by crossing the blood-brain barrier to localize in the brain-regions controlling spatial learning and memory.
2. Pterstilebene, a heart-disease-fighting and cancer fighting antioxidant.
3. Ellagic acid, another a.o. helps to block the metablolic pathways that can lead to cancer.

On the Top 5 Brain Health Foods on http://www.brainready.com/blog/thetop5br... acai and blueberries tie. Acai berries have been tested to have higher antioxidant levels than any berry.
Since we're unable to obtain fresh acai berries here, I would recommend Sambazon's Organic Acai Powder (mentioned also in the article). You can purchase one at your local health food store (I purchased ours at Wild Oats Natural Marketplace).

That's a good question. My research says acae.
Of those choices I'd say blueberry!
