The study may lead to the development of a pharmaceutical therapy to help prevent free radical damage. Free radicals are naturally present in the body and are created during routine processes like breathing. A well-known artificial anti-oxidant is up to 100 times more powerful than nature's best and could help counteract everything from skin damage to Alzheimer's disease, a study has found. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that are naturally present in the body and are created during routine natural processes like breathing, according to researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada.
The professor at UBC said free radicals are a natural part of human metabolism. But when our bodies have too many, like when we are exposed to UV radiation from the Sun, when we smoke, or even when we drink alcohol, it can be a problem. These extremely reactive molecules can…
