We have heard so much about the health benefits of antioxidants and how they protect the cells of the body from free radical damage and protects from different diseases including Aging, Vision loss, Arthritis, Stroke, Cancer etc.
I came across an article recently that has goes a long way to reinforce my belief that moderation is always the best. Everything, no matter how good they are and how many important functions they do if taken in excess always has a bad side to it.
In our consumption of antioxidants, please let us have this in mind.

Not to totally eliminate the importance of antioxidants....most researches has been inconclusive which means that there has been mixed results. It has been found that they have a negative effect in people who already have cancers. (National Cancer Institute- Antioxidants and Cancer Prevention)
As always, moderation is key!
