2. Clemson chemists discover new way antioxidants fight debilitating diseases
   08-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Debilitating diseases are often linked to DNA damage that occurs when metal ions in the body produce reactive oxygen compounds that damage cells. Studies have shown antioxidants that neutralize this activity and are found in fruits, vegetables, green tea, garlic and onions can be effective at preventing damage. A Clemson team has found a new mechanism for antioxidant activity: antioxidants bind to naturally present iron and copper to prevent formation of compounds that damage DNA.
