3. Oatmeal
4. Black or Kidney Beans
5. Almonds
6. Walnuts
7. Red wine
8. Tuna
9. Tofu
10. Brown rice
11. Soy milk

12. Blueberries (Cranberries, strawberries, raspberries are potent, too)
13. Carrots
14. Spinach
15. Broccoli

Note: I would also add water, even though it is not a food, per se. According to The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth by Jonny Bowden (A review is in the works), without water we dehydrate very quickly. And dehydration can elevate at least four independent risk factors for heart disease.
