Antioxidants are our body's front line defense against free radicals. When we breathe, we take in oxygen and generate free radicals; atoms that have at least one unpaired electron, thus making them unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals then roam throughout the body causing damage to our cells by stealing stable electron partners from other cells, causing more free radicals, more instability and more damage.
Every day our cells and our health are under attack from free radicals caused by pollution, chemicals, stress, radiation, sunlight, exercise and, most damaging of all, smoking and second-hand smoke. Over time, such damage may become irreversible and may lead to disease including cancer. Antioxidants are often described as "mopping up" free radicals, meaning they neutralize the electrical charge and prevent the free radical from taking electrons from other molecules. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals otherwise might cause. Examples of antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamins C, E, and A, and other substances from fruits and vegetables, other foods and high-quality nutritional supplements.
"The fact is, with our busy lives, most of us do not eat right and free radicals are taking over in our cells." Dr. Lester Packer, Senior Researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for over 40 years, head of the Packer Lab at the University of California, "Father" of Antioxidant research, author of thousands of scientific papers and many books on Antioxidants and health
