Dr. Howes presents over 500 scientific reports showing the
ineffectiveness of common antioxidants and of these, over 170
studies show harmful effects. This should not be surprising, since
our very survival depends on imperative oxidative biochemical
pathways. Dr. Howes discusses seven crucial oxidative pathways,
including pathogen protection, cancer protection, wound healing,
energy production, detoxification, immunity and cellular signaling,
which can be blocked or interfered with by "antioxidant stacking or
overkill." Thus, it is a no-brainer that antioxidant overload can
cause inadvertent harmful maladies and also cause increased risk of
death (overall mortality). Antioxidants can act as "dirty bombs"
and non-specifically interfere with essential oxidative processes.
Preservatives increase antioxidant exposure and this is rapidly
contaminating our environment, due to the desire to prevent
spoilage (rancidity, discoloration, foul odors, etc.) of common
foods and preserve feed supplies of animals, such as cattle, pigs
and fish. Antioxidant food fortification is commonplace and genetic
modification to augment antioxidant content of foods is on the
rise. This book is the world's largest selective collection of
antioxidant reports and the cited studies include over 16 million
human participants. Thirty two major medical/scientific
organizations do not recommend the use of antioxidant supplements
but suggest getting them for fresh fruits and vegetables. Dr. Howes
has discovered that antioxidants can shield or protect 27 different
cancer cell types in the laboratory and 9 murine (rodent) cancer
cell types from being killed. Yet, millions of cancer survivors are
encouraged to take potentially dangerous doses of antioxidant
supplements on a daily basis. Please educate yourself to the
inherent dangers of antioxidant overkill. Be smart. Be safe. Dr.
Howes presents the downside of antioxidant overloading and exposes
the mythology behind aggressive advertising campaigns pushing
antioxidant overuse. Dr. Howes convincingly presents overwhelming
data which clearly invalidates and nullifies the free radical
theory and points out its failure to meet the requirements of the
scientific method. The erroneous free radical theory lacks
predictability and reproducibility. All antioxidant studies have
been based on the flawed free radical theory. Hence, hundreds of
studies have failed to show effectiveness or safety of antioxidant
use in humans. It is time to move past the debunked free radical
theory and to appreciate the many benefits of electronically
modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs, previously called reactive
oxygen species, ROS). EMODs are essential to normal homeostasis and
human survival. Without them we would rapidly succumb, just as we
would summarily die without a constant supply of ground state
di-radical oxygen. We are, indeed, obligate aerobes. Please do not
overlook this most essential fact.
