Show Notes

Today's Five Minute Food Facts episode is about antioxidants. I explain what they are and why they are considered defenders of good health.

Antioxidants protect our bodies against free radicals that can harm our cells and contribute to the development of chronic disease. I talk about how antioxidants do this and where we can obtain these helpful little molecules. I also touch on the antioxidant supplement industry.
