most powerful antioxidants?

Bah there's heaps better stuff around then what some people are mentioning. ALA is very good. So is idebenone. Selenium is an antioxidant only because it gets incorporated into glutathione peroxidase.

Glutathione is a good one, but you can't take it orally because it's broken down before absorption. n-acetylcysteine will raise glutathione levels plenty, though I personally wouldn't take it on MDMA as glutathione adducts haveb een implicated in neurotoxicity.

NtBHA is a pretty interesting one to look at. It's a hardcore spin-trap reagent
 
I can't believe nobody has mentioned prunes!

They are way above blueberries for example, in terms of richness in anti-oxidants.
 
and dark chocolate has over 13,000 ORAC units of antioxidants per 100grams
 
If their too powerful though, can't you get sick? what if your like 65? just curious I live with my parents.
