bite for bite relative to the same quantity consumed Explanation: It means that a given quantity of berries that one eats contains a larger amount of antioxidants than the same quantity of any other food. "Bite" is being used here to refer to a quantity eaten, "1 a an amount of food that you bite with your teeth" ( http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/bite_... a mouthful. "For" expresses equivalence: a bite one food (cherries) compared with a bite another food (anything else): "for 21. as a direct equivalent to ⇒ word for word, weight for weight" http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/for "Bite" really means that one is comparing the quantity of antioxidants by volume. Actually one normally consumes berries in smaller quantities than other foods, and this is reflected in "concentration": antioxidants are presented in a more concentrated form in berries than in other foods. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2013-05-20 04:02:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry: in the third paragraph above I meant "a bite OF one food ... compared with a bite OF another food". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-05-20 06:11:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And I also put "cherries" instead of "berries"; apologies again! Perhaps I was thinking of the expression "another bite of the cherry". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2013-05-20 11:40:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yet another little error in my explanation: the source text says "most other foods", not "any other food". |
