The upshot on antioxidants

Flipping back the clock 10 years, it’s possible a trip to the supermarket involved few sightings of the word ‘antioxidant’ emblazoned on everything from frozen berry packets to olive oil bottles. Today the story plays out differently. Having a television, reading a newspaper and tuning into the radio all go hand-in-hand with exposure to antioxidant media. So why all the hype?

Perhaps this has something to do with growing concerns over toxins, and the subsequent popularity of ‘detoxing’. Antioxidants help prevent damage to cells caused by anything from cigarette smoke and pollution, through to ultraviolet radiation and toxic substances in our food.

  • Tomatoes
