I makes sence to eat what grows naturally in our own environment and even more sense when we realize that our native herbs, spices, fruits and berries are also so good for us.  Many of our native foods are high in anti oxidants...the cosmetic companies are always talking about anti oxidants and we can pay a fortune for them. 

Tasmanian Pepper, Lemon myrtle and Aniseed myrtle are high in Vitamen E, Quandongs are high in Vitamin C.  One of the richest sources of tocopherols is the Australian Hass Avacado, the Quandong is comparable to that.

According to studies conducted  by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation a division of the Australian Government

"Components of folate are water-soluble compounds (known also as vitamin B9) that play a key role in the methylation cycle and in DNA biosynthesis and the chromosome segregation.  Breaks in the DNA strand and chromosome malsegregation are the main forms of genome damage.  Adequate levels of folate, combined with the presence of Zn, Mg, Ca and vitamin B12 in the  diet can prevent genome damage that occurs due to oxidative stress, nutrient deficiency or calory excess.  Folate deficiency results in an increased rish of cardiovascular disease and dementia as well as neural tube defects.

All samples of native species evaluated in this study contained folate.  Among herbs and spices, the highest level was present in Tasmania Pepper Leaf, Anise Myrtle, Bush tomato and Wattleseed, followed by Tasmania Pepperberry and Lemon Myrtle."
