are involved in reactions that reduce the number of, or generation of free radicals.

Fatty Acid Percentages of Vegetable Oils and Animal Fats
I composed this table for my nutrition chapter in Scott Haldeman’s upcoming textbook
Principals and Practice of Chiropractic, 3rd edition. I’ll bet you cannot find a better one.

Vitamins and Minerals
I made these tables for my chapter in Minerals Principals & Practice of Chiropractic,
3rd edtion. The one's in the book were reformatted by the editors. These are the
originals and (in my humble opinion) are way better.
