Brief
Certain culÂtiÂvars when harÂvested early and propÂerly milled will conÂtain higher levÂels of polypheÂnols and antioxÂiÂdants than othÂers. It has not been deterÂmined, howÂever, that the more antioxÂiÂdants an oil conÂtains the betÂter it is for you. It might be the case that how often you conÂsume antioxÂiÂdants at some level will yield more benÂeÂfits. We just don’t know the perÂfect equaÂtion yet.
