March 28, 2008, Newsletter Issue #198: Free Radicals

Tip of the Week

In the normal course of metabolism, your body produces small, high-energy particles that have a single electron in their outer shell (such molecules are unstable because electrons prefer to be paired). These are called free radicals, and they can be very damaging in their search for another electron. Free-radicals continuously attack cells, inciting virtually every chronic disease you can think of - clogged arteries, heart attacks, cancer, diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, and all the degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinsonīs, ALS, and Alzheimerīs are all associated with free radicals.
