NOTE FROM ANTONI BIGCUORE: so-called antioxidants are substances that protect cells. The oxidation of cells, caused by the following elements: air pollution, cigarette, drink, fatty foods (excess saturated fat), increased cortisol in the blood (adrenaline) etc., affect the DNA. of cells; is a kind of "rust" that forms plaques, including in the case of Alzeimer, according to scientific studies, caused by the protein called BETA AMYLOID, that affect the region of the hippocampus where the memory is.
