What are free radicals, and how do antioxidants fight them?

To leave out the complicated chemistry, free radicals are an atom or a group of atoms that can damage cells, proteins and DNA by altering their chemical structure. The damage from free radicals can be prevented by binding the free radical with an antioxidant. This prevents oxidation.

Perhaps the key function that antioxidants perform is to handcuff the free radicals, packaging them so that they can be washed out of the body through the kidneys, and preventing them from damaging our cells and chromosomes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
