You hear all the time that dark chocolate is good for your health. But “dark chocolate” encompasses everything from Milky Way Midnights to Mast Brothers artisanal, small-batch chocolate bars. It’s certainly not all good for you. So how can you tell dark chocolate duds from Dark Chocolate, Superfood? More
Drinking green tea and red wine constantly are touted as being beneficial to your health. And now, it seems that yet another item can be added to the list of why you should have a cup each day. More
Guys guys guys guys guys: You are not fooling anybody with this “high in antioxidant” crap. Or let’s hope you’re not. Or let’s just … stop. Okay? Please? Because you probably are fooling people. You are probably fooling people into thinking your cherry daiquiri, cherry chocolate, cherry cheesecake and cherry cola flavored gummies are a health food — you are clearly working really hard to do that — and no matter how many charity races you sponsor, it doesn’t make this any less of a dick move.

You’ve probably heard that red wine can be good for your heart and your head, but an Australian biochemist has now developed a super-healthy red that’s loaded with even more antioxidants than typical. The Brisbane-based scientist, Greg Jardine, says a patented group of antioxidant compounds used during the wine-making processes could make his new ‘health wine’ a powerful tonic against ailments such as arthritis, chronic fatigue and other inflammation-related conditions.

Dried tea leaves can be used in the same way as any other dried herb, notes Tonia George in the intro to her tea cookbook. Whether it’s loose-leaf or bagged, tea can easily be incorporated into recipes for added flavor and health benefits. Tea is rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that make it good for your skin, heart, brain, teeth and metabolism. Â More
Are you just throwing away antioxidants every morning? If you’re a coffee drinker, probably so: Those grounds we so hastily discard are actually chock full of antioxidants, scientists say. More
Replenish while you imbibe with these antioxidant-rich pomegranate and cranberry cocktails, perfect for pre-holiday parties or Christmas day. Maybe even New Year’s Eve — there’s also a healthy dose of champagne in a few of these drinks. To less added sugars and more polyphenols in your 2013 benders. More
Deo rose-flavored “perfume candy” — which just started selling in the United States – is made with an antioxidant that leaves your skin smelling like roses for a few hours after you eat it. More
Say goodbye to 7-Up with antioxidants: The short-lived Frankensoda from Dr. Pepper Snapple Group will be off the market by early 2013. Though Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (really, that’s the best you could come up with for merging name, guys?) says it has nothing to do with the decision, there’s currently a lawsuit against them for making misleading health claims about its antioxidant soda line.

A new study says buckyballs—aka Buckminsterfullerine, an organic compound composed of 60 carbon atoms studied by many a high school chemistry student—could be a fountain of youth…or at least, a pretty good anti-aging solution. In fact, some hope that a teaspoon a day could help us live to 150. (But first they’ll need to test it out on animals besides rodents.) More
If recent headlines are to be taken at face value, you can skip the apples, carrots or kale: A few cups of popcorn a day will keep the doctor away, or at least give you a fruit-and-vegetable-size serving of antioxidants. That last part is true (and awesome)—a recent University of Scranton study found that popcorn has as much or more of a type of antioxidant called polyphenols than fruits and vegetables. But that doesn’t exactly mean you should “forget your five-a-day” in favor of Orville Redenbacher’s. More
The McCormick company sells dried spices that can make your food taste a little better. Which should be enough to sell their product, but it apparently is not–because, in their current series of commercials, they’re also pushing vague, possibly meaningless … More
Most of red wine’s supposed anti-aging or disease-fighting effects come from resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of grapes. But a leading researcher on resveratrol and aging was just outed by the University of Connecticut for committing ‘more than 100 acts of data fabrication and falsification.” Does this mean everything we’ve heard about red wine and resveratrol is wrong?

If you’re feeling sleepy at your desk this afternoon, you may want to consider reaching for a cup of green tea instead of an Excedrin or NoDoz pill–and not just because antioxidant-rich green tea is a healthier way to get caffeine. The FDA announced a large-scale recall of some of Novartis Consumer Health, Inc.‘s biggest labels today, including Gas-X, Bufferin, and yes, those two pick-me-uppers. But if you’re a caffeine fiend who tends to get your fix from a tablet, perhaps this recall is a good time to re-assess. More
