That comparison usually comes from ORAC scores, a laboratory test that measures how a substance reacts with certain free radicals in a test tube. But ORAC values do not reliably predict what a foodâor hydrogenâwill do inside the human body. The USDA even withdrew its ORAC food database after the scores were repeatedly misused in health marketing.
Molecular hydrogen is better understood as a potential redox-signaling modulator, with research exploring its effects on pathways involved in the bodyâs own antioxidant defensesânot as the equivalent of eating hundreds of servings of produce.
Watch the full H2Minutes video for a deeper look at misleading hydrogen claims and what the science actually says.
