Antioxidant Supplements?

Scientific evidence for the majority of popular health supplements today are negative in results… or even nonexistent! 

For example: antioxidants (molecules capable of slowing or preventing the aging process) are complex molecules that are not very well understood in their original form nor in their relationship to other antioxidant molecules.  Yet, that hasn’t kept myriad capitalists from making and marketing powders, pills and liquids exulting their human engineered benefits. 

The difference between snake oil and antioxidant supplements?  Generally nothing… 

Save your money and purchase inexpensive and widely available antioxidant sources such as fruits and vegetables instead.
