There is a lot of talk about antioxidants in relation to free radicals, cancer prevention, and anti aging. These issues are typically marketed towards older people. Do antioxidants help young people like children or teenagers? or is there no effect?

    Of course yes. Antioxidants is great for children especially ones that go to school and get the common cold. My son is 7 months and I give him the same thing I take to keep me and my family healthy. I don’t give him a large dose. Do you know when at the age of 16 is when kids then to have the most energy. I’m not going to explain anymore. I want you to go to this site. You can read and listen to what people say. They are backed by doctors. I know as a fact this is the best thing that has ever came into my life.ashnow.com/243573.

    This is what they say about fighting cancer. This is just a little part.
    Cesium has been used to raise the pH of the body as an alternative cancer treatment of therapy for breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, brain cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, bone cancer, throat cancer, thyroid cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, cancers of the bladder and gallbladder, metastatic melanoma, and cancers in animals including feline, canine, and equine cancer.

    Anti-oxidents are good for alot, though not proven completely by todays medical profession. A word though, if you are on chemo, or anything as pervasive as chemo, then antioxidants can actually make the chemo less effective. Side effects would depend on what you took, so research everything carefully, and if your using some kind of blended product(herbal drink etc) check each ingrediant.

    Antioxidants obtained from food sources are much more helpful to the human body than antioxidant supplements. Regardless of what you might read from the vitamin salespeople, neither type antioxidant will help prevent cancer if someone has another dominant risk factor for cancer like an extensive smoking history, toxic environmental exposure, genetic error or excessive UVA exposure.

    Antioxidants are helpful for everyone of all ages – but they are not a magic bullet cure-all because cancer is way too complex of a disease process to be treated or cured that easily. However, a diet high in antioxidants and low in junk food will give you strong bones and nice skin along with possibly fewer colds in the winter.

    Intake of antioxidant supplements will interfere with many cancer chemo and radiation treatments because the antioxidants also help the malignant cells survive along with the healthy cells. If doing active cancer treatment you should run a full list of all your supplements by your Dr to make sure there are no negative interactions. I had to stop about ten different supplements for several months.
