Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), the antioxidant phytochemicals found in fresh fruits are retained at levels almost as high in the same fruits that are freeze-dried. Their research also shows that the phytochemicals in freeze-dried fruits can reach our bloodstream. These phytochemicals in freeze-dried fruits like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, might protect against colon and esophagus cancers.
Freeze-dried fruits are commonly found in dry breakfast cereals, and the amount in one serving of cereal is hardly enough to be beneficial. It is better to use freeze-dried fruits in conjunction with fresh, frozen, and regular dried fruits to get your recommended daily intake.

I won't repeat myself, but to say that the most potent and concentrated source of the phytochemicals that this article is talking about (OPC's, oligomeric proanthrocyanidins) is found in grape-seed extract. The OPC's in grape seed extract are more potent and far cheaper than frenc maritime pine bark extract (a.k.a. pyncnoginol).

The only way to go for one's food storage. Plus, the shelf life is many years over normal canned foods. Emergency Essentials is where I purchase my foods.

I haven't heard anyone talk about the extra calories??
