"Edgar replies: Patrick, thanks for pointing that out. The problem remains, as the post states at the end, the normal portion of black pepper usage — a couple of shakes (or even 1/4 teaspoon) — is so small and insignificant, that even if it was the most powerful antioxidant on earth (it is in the top 50), this tiny amount is going to make little difference in your nutrition."

Edgar, continuing to defend your boo boo is making you look silly especially when continuing with assuming that people are too stupid to know what 'serving sizes' are and don't have the ability to figure out that a measly amount of pepper (which does indeed include an important source of antioxidants) is not going to come anywhere near their daily needed nutritional intake ... Anyway, not trying to beat you up; just pointing out that even the best investigator should stand back sometimes before inserting both feet in mouth via attempting self defense ;-) I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New year :-)
