其他摘要：In the body, the reactions by which energy is created pro- duce reactive oxygen molecules (ROS). ROS can damage biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, proteins and DNA, which has been linked to chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory proces - ses, diabetes and aging. Antioxidants present in foods can counteract the harmful effect of ROS. The aim of this study was to quantify the average intake of antioxidant capacity in the Spanish diet. For this purpose, average daily food intake published in the National Survey of Spanish Diete- tics in 2011 and the database that has been published by the USDA (based on the ORAC) was used. The Spanish population surpassed the estimated daily recommendation of antioxidants and was superior to other countries that have similar diets.
