What Nutrition Lingo Really Means

Hello goodnight,

I found this really great article that talks about the meaning of antioxidants, free radicals energy density and other terms that are found on the foods that we consume. What I really enjoyed about this article is that they put the information in such a way that high school students can understand. For example they say that free radicals are like 'bullies' that attack our cells. This is just some light reading.
