Dr. Jack Masquelier |
Chances are, most people have never heard of Dr. Jack Masquelier or oligomeric procyanidins. But as the largest generation grows and enters into what they hope to be their golden years, Antioxidants may very well hold the key to better health and longer lives.
Example: Take a bite out of an apple and expose it to the air for a few minutes. The exposed flesh of the apple soon turns brown. That's oxidation at work. Oxidation provides needed energy for life, yet within our bodies a small number of the oxygen molecules we breathe are converted into unstable free radicals.
Free radical caused oxidation produces premature aging and sets us up for serious illness, including cancer and heart disease. Natalie Angier, science reporter for The New York Times, calls the damage by free radicals "the price we pay for breathing.
An excess of free radicals can and does cause different medical conditions, depending on which tissues they attack. The free radicals may attack DNA and cause cancer or birth defects; if they attack your pancreas, they can cause diabetes; in blood and blood vessels, they can cause cardiovascular disease; in the eye, they can cause cataracts.
