		<description>Dear Doctor Jay,

We have a new antioxidant drink that is a combination of unprocessed Cocoa powder and the Acai Berry (from South American rain forest) and also contains: cayenne pepper, cinnamon, grape and blue berry pulp plus the natural sweetener, Agave.

Antioxidant values are the capacity to absorb free radicals. The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value as determined by the US Department of Agriculture measure the capacity of foods to absorb oxygen free radicals. The government recommends 6,000 ORAC units per day. On average, an American would get 16-20% of that requirement from her or his diet. The deficit explains why we rank lower on the morbidity tables and are in poorer health later in life than many other countries, even with our enormous expenditures on health care.

One ounce of our drink, taken before meals, three times per day as a dietary supplement yields 8,640 ORAC units per day.

There are numerous benefits related to meeting/exceeding the daily minimum antioxidant recommendations of the USDA.

Thanks for listening.
