Scientists believe that some antioxidants are more potent than others, and their potency can be affected by how they’re cooked or digested.

For example, the antioxidants in blueberries lose their potency when cooked, while the antioxidants in potatoes, artichokes, and tomatoes (not listed in the top 20) become moe potent when cooked.

If you’ve read Antioxidants: The Best Anti-aging Secret , the article didn’t list any particular foods.

Here is a list is the top 20 foods, in order of the highest antioxidant concentration from highest to lowest. If you want to really maximize your intake of disease fighting antioxidants, try coupling this list with my Top 20 foods to buy Organic!

    1. small dried red beans
    2. wild blueberries
    3. red kidney beans
    4. pinto beans
    5. cultivated blueberries
    6. cranberries
    7. cooked artichokes
    8. blackberries
    9. prunes
    10. raspberries
    11. strawberries
    12. red delicious apples
    13. granny smith apples
    14. pecans
    15. sweet cherries
    16. black plums
    17. cooked russet potatoes
    18. dried black beans
    19. plums
    20. gala apples
