I think the antioxidants in chocolate are still A-OK...
Why aren’t we all dead yet?
Two questions:
Am I okay as long as I’m not a diabetic rat?
Do these same scientists believe in climate change?
Well, the way I look at it, you’ll never get out of this world alive, anyway, so where’s the problem?
Once it was nitrates in bacon; then sulfites in wine; and sachharin would kill your rats; now it’s anti-oxidants.
Soy is a hormone, but people eat it with abandon. The only way it’s “good for you” is in soy sauce.
Seems to me...well, I’ll get off my soap box. I eat what I want, when I want.
“Scientists?”
I don’t think so.
These clowns have an agenda, and we need to know where their money is coming from.

One has to look behind who funds these research projects... you may just find some big prescription drug company names...
I take lots of supplements including antioxidants and firmly believe they have improved my health.
I have a science/health/medical education and a health/medical employment background... Lycopene in my opinion should be taken by every man over age 50 or earlier - for the rest of his life - plus selenium to prevent prostate cancer. Saw Palmetto extract works quite well to reduce enlarged prostate - a plant phytol.
Turmeric (curcumin) has many healthful properties including being an anti-inflammatory... Omega 3 fatty acids in fish oils can be life saving and life extending - especially in heart disease.
Supplements, anti-oxidants and vitamins cost prescription pharmaceutical drug companies a lot of money in sales - therefore natural remedies must be removed from the marketplace.
...two such antioxidants -- quercetin and ferulic acid -- appeared to aggravate kidney cancer in severely diabetic laboratory rats.This is one of those facts that reinforces my gratitude that I am not a rat.
