Grape Goodness



Grapes are little bursts if antioxidants. Antioxidants can be very helpful in the prevention or slowing of cancer cells. Antioxidants  can help prevent our cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules. Damage caused by free radicals can lead to cancer. Studies have shown that antioxidants can either reduce and in some cases prevent the development of cancer :-)

Quick Fun Fact****
       -Grapes  are rich in antioxidants, which can are mainly found in the leaf, skin, seeds, and stem ( Grogan,2011). So start eating some of those grape stems that we all toss in our trash lol :-), it good stuff inside.
