The BLUF from an interesting post from "That Paleo Guy":
Not much point in blunting a training session by tipping large amounts of antioxidants down the throat is there? http://thatpaleoguy.com/2011/11/15/more-antioxidants/
People have beat the antioxidant supplementation concept to death because it is an attractive idea and sells a bunch of stuff, not because it has been proven to work. Yes, that's right, all that hoohaa you've read about eating a pound of brightly colored vegetables every 15 minutes is probably just another great sounding idea which is funded by the brightly colored vegetable industry group du jour.
To be sure, for all I know if a human eats more vegetables per day than a rhino does, it might actually help someone somewhere - just like drinking your own urine every morning may help someone somewhere.
Before I went off the deep end trying to eat like an herbivore, though, I think I might do what I could to stop eating food which results in chronically high inflammation levels, such as those "heart healthy" vegetable oils to include corn, canola aka rapeseed, safflower, etc (doesn't that term strike you as a bit odd, "vegetable oils"? Ever notice that no matter how hard you squeeze corn, it does not produce oil?).
Instead, try meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, little fruit and starch and no sugar/wheat.
