Antioxidants PROVEN to Help Prevent Cancer

The National Cancer Institute published results a few years ago from a study conducted. You can find the entire results here.

The key points of the study found:
  • Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals (see Question 1&3).
  • Laboratory and animal research has shown antioxidants help prevent the free radical damage that is associated with cancer. However, results from recent studies in people (clinical trials) are not consistent (see Question 2).
  • Antioxidants are provided by a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables (see Question 4).
