SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS: (ORAC) Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity – Barley contains 25, 500 Radical Absorbance Capacity per 100 grams. The Higher the ORAC Number, the Greater the amount of Antioxidants in the food.
As per Scientists test tube analysis, No other food can give this antioxidant protection. USDA recommends an ORAC unit ingestion of about 3, 000 to 5, 000 units daily.
Barley is a Good Anti-Cancer Agent
In a recent article published on Oprah.com, Dr. Nicolas Perricone discusses the potential of barley grass as an anti-cancer agent by defining it as a “free radical scavenger.” Perricone believes high concentrations of chlorophyll, the green pigment that comprises the grass’s blades, holds the secret to its cancer-fighting capabilities. Chlorophyll works like an antioxidant in barley grass by providing oxygen to damaged cells. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, chlorophyll’s disease preventing power lies in its ability to disable and eliminate enzymes needed for the creation of cancer causing agents.
