"Antioxidant" is a classification of several organic substances, including vitamins C and E, vitamin A (which is converted from beta-carotene), selenium (a mineral), and a group known as the carotenoids. Carotenoids, of which beta-carotene is the most popular, are a pigment that adds color to many fruits and vegetables - without them, carrots wouldn't be orange, for example. Together as antioxidants, these substances are thought to be effective in helping to prevent cancer, heart disease and stroke.
Antioxidants work to deactivate harmful free radicals at the cellular and molecular levels. Free radicals are created by pollution in our environment such as tobacco smoke, air pollution and UV exposure. When left untreated, free radical damage can become irreversible and lead to cancer. Antioxidants can catch free radicals before they have an opportunity to do harm in your body and prevent the possibility of disease.
