But the issues of ownership is rarely an all-or-nothing proposition. A major system development effort often involves the integration of custom-developed software with existing programs, either proprietary to the developer, the client or a third party.
Editor's Note: USDA scientists analyzed antioxidant levels in more than 100 different foods, including fruits and vegetables. Each food was measured for antioxidant concentration as well as antioxidant capacity per serving size.Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries ranked highest among the fruits studied.Beans, artichokes, and Russet potatoes were tops among the vegetables. Pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts ranked highest in the nut category.SDA chemist Ronald L. Prior says the total antioxidant capacity of the foods does not necessarily reflect their health benefit. Benefits depend on how the food's antioxidants are absorbed and utilized in the body.
As of May, 2005, the most comprehensive study of the antioxidant content of common foods that I know of was published in the June 2004 edition of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. According to this study, the 20 most antioxidant-rich foods are as follows: The highest ranked foods in four major categories are as follows: Fruits: blueberries, cranberries, and blackberries. Vegetables: beans, artichoke hearts, and surprisingly, russet potatoes. Nuts: pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts.
