CAP-e Testing of Foods
CAP-e/gramThe graph below shows the scientific way of looking at the data, which is per gram. When we compare 1 gram of blueberries (~1 mid-sized blueberry!) to 1 gram of oregano, oregano had more antioxidants available to live cells. Oregano as a nutritional supplement would provide a concentrated source of antioxidants available to cells. However, this does not translate in proportion to where we are most likely to get antioxidants from in our diet. |
CAP-e/servingA portion of fresh berries is 1 cup, which is approximately 120 grams. Therefore, a serving of fresh berries would provide approximately 42 CAP-e units. A cup of hot chocolate usually contains 1 tablespoon of cocoa (5 grams), thus a cup of cocoa would equate to 20 CAP-e units. The amount of dried oregano on 1 small pizza could reasonably be ¼ teaspoon, equivalent to 0.2 gram. Therefore, the oregano on the pizza would contribute 2 CAP-e units.
