“The antioxidants in our body have to fit together with uric acid which is naturally there, and enzymes which naturally break down free radicals. And if you put things in that don’t fit, apparent antioxidants in a test tube can become a pro-oxidant in a body. Things have to fit together, so that vitamin A and vitamin E are locked together and vitamin E and vit. C locked together, Uric acid and vit.C locked together and the glucose and other sugars have to be streaming through the systems of enzymes turning into carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide has to be flowing out of the cells properly. The whole antioxidant system is really one piece and if you try to staff in any super-antioxidants like they’re selling as health products, you’re likely to create more oxidation than you had without it. Recent publication saw that cataracts are twice as common in men over the age of 65, who took big supplements of vit. E and vit. C. Almost doubled their rate of cataracts.” - Peat
