This book serves as a comprehensive overview of the current
scientific knowledge on the health effects of dietary and
supplemental antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E). Chapters
integrate information from basic research and animal studies,
epidemiologic studies, and clinical intervention trials.
The popular media has taken great interest in antioxidants, with
numerous articles emphasizing their role in preventing disease and
the possible slowing of the aging process. These antioxidant
vitamins may be important in preventing not only acute deficiency
symptoms, but also chronic disorders such as heart disease and
certain types of cancer. This book, therefore, is not only for
scientists and doctors, but also for health writers, journalists,
and informed lay people.
The text focuses on several human conditions for which there is now
good scientific evidence that oxidation is an important etiological
component. Specifically, antioxidants may prevent or slow down the
progression of: Cancer, Cardiovascular disease, Immune system
disorders, Cataracts, Neurological disorders, Degeneration due to
the aging process.
