Many diseases have been linked to oxidative stress, which is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the biological systems inability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediate or repair the resulting damage. Research on antioxidants is accumulating evidence that they can reduce the incidence of oxidative stress. They work by neutralizing oxygen free radicals, the highly active and damaging atoms and chemical groups produced by various disease processes and by poisons,...
