Description

Antioxidants are humanity’s last trump card against aging and disease. Packed into diets and supplements as if they were invincible shields, they often fall on deaf molecular ears. The “miraculous effects” touted across the market frequently come with a nightmarish cost-performance ratio. They embody the paradox of consuming large quantities of one thing to prevent another, while nurturing a dependence on health faith. Real efficacy aside, their value as a fee for peace of mind is immeasurable.
