Hmmm...Antioxidant myth (article)

So hard to keep up with all those news and figure out what are real news...

The article kind of goes along with why the Keto diet helps people feel better, sounds like lowering your carbs, not the good ones, should be an important part of a PwP's diet.

Appreciate your opinion - I was looking for confirmation of mine.

Sorry. The article does affirm yours.

I think she’s a very smart person and has given me some new insights . I’ve since read and will continue to read more of her articles. She shows how oxidation is caused by sugar mostly and that too much suppresses our own anti-oxidants internally . I’ve always known sugary things were bad for us all but I’ve now woken up to this imporrant connection. Thanks for the link.

I agree on the sugar, which she emphasizes.

That said, she is wrong on some points - she cites a study which says "No double-blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial of curcumin has been successful. " yet this review: (pdf) 69.164.208.4/files/Anti-inf...

cites numerous randomized controlled trials which yielded statistically significant results for the utility of curcumin as an anti-inflammatory.
