The last five juices (smallest quantities) listed are: blueberry fruit juice, raspberry fruit juice, strawberry fruit juice, cranberry fruit juice, and cherry fruit juice. Of all the added juices, the blueberry is not only the highest on the ORAC scale, but also in my opinion the most beneficial, (other than the mangosteen).

For a snack, choose an apple or pear instead of potato chips or pretzels, or grapes instead of raisins. Fresh fruit is much lower in calories than potato chips and also contains many fewer food-derived glycotoxins than potato chips, which are fried or baked in oil at high temperatures." - Steven V.

When having pasta, reduce the serving by half and stir in an equal amount of steamed fiber- and water-rich vegetables.

Such foods cause your blood sugar level to go up and then plummet, a fluctuation that can contribute to insomnia. Also, overindulging late at night in highly fatty foods can cause sleeplessness. That's because foods with a lot of fat take four to five times longer to empty from the stomach and be digested than simple or complex carbohydrates do. The late Dr. Robert Atkins pointed out the efficacy of tryptophan in the treatment of insomnia." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Those with diabetes should exclude fruit juice and not use much dried fruit. Frozen fruit can be a convenient substitute when fresh isn't available.
