The book “The Oracle Diet” is an ode to healthy living. Michael Van Straten wrote this book to explain the ORAC diet theory. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity foods. Foods that are on the ORAC scale contain antioxidants that reduce the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are weakened molecules that split, then attach to other molecules, causing a chain reaction. They generally occur during metabolism; the body purposely creates them during that time to fight off bacteria and viruses, but they can also be harmful if left unchecked in the healthy parts of the body. Our bodies can handle free radicals naturally with antioxidants, but if the body doesn’t have enough antioxidants due to a lack of foods on the ORAC scale, the free radicals can become excessive, which may cause damage.
