The TAC (Total Antioxidant Content) of whole fruit is far superior to any juice, even the so called super juices Goji, Noni and Acai.
I did not know that. I just read coffee is higher than fruit, Men's health this month's issue.

I know Black Cherry is good for all types of inflamation due to high levels of anthocyanins.

Red wine is a particularly rich source of antioxidants flavonoid phenolics, so many studies to uncover a cause for red wine's effects have focused on its phenolic constituents, particularly resveratrol and the flavonoids. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, increases HDL cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. Flavonoids, on the other hand, exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries.

I have always assumed that a wide variety of types of antioxidants is as important as overall amount to get the full complement.
