Default ORAC - anitoxidant power of foods

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_...bance_capacity

Can you eat too many foods high on the ORAC list? Silly question but somewhere I read your body can only absorb 5,000 ORAC units a day.

We are all different with various oxidative processes occuring within our bodies so our needs would vary.

Question: would a person with an autoimmune condition be harmed from too many anti-oxidants causing the immune system to amp up it's attack on the body?
