Antioxidants are a commonly promoted feature of health foods and supplements. They’re portrayed as the good forces that fight free radicals – nasty molecules causing damage thought to hasten aging and cause chronic diseases.

Unfortunately, antioxidants from supplements do not always show the same benefits like food sources, and can be even dangerous if used the wrong way. Find out in this article why you should get your antioxidants from food sources instead of pills.
