Free Radicals

What's the best way to get rid of them? - I know about green tea, but what else is good? I've also read 'anti-oxidents' but I don't know what these are. tia x

********* You get extra stars for finding a document that actually says that exercise is bad for you!!!... yes, alright, i know that's not exactly what it says ... but you can't blame a girl for trying.

lol I knew there was a good reason to not exercise! Here's to my revised New Year's Resolution!

Why do you want to get rid of them?
You do need them you know.
I thought you need to control them not get rid if them - sounds like faddish nonsense to me.

What do you need them for? And you can never get rid of them, you're taking it too literally. Just wondered what else I can add to my diet to reduce them.

"Free radicals play an important role in a number of biological processes, some of which are necessary for life, such as the intracellular killing of bacteria by neutrophil granulocytes. Free radicals have also been implicated in certain cell signalling processes. "

Apart from that - i cant see any use for them - just dont come crying to me young lady when youve got no free radicals left because you are not having any of mine (ive got loads!)
Brilliant band by the way - funnily enough a question about The Free Radicals popped up on the music catergory yesterday - spooky eh?

[Englishbird]

lol, With my lifestyle, i can assure you I have them in abundance. I'm going to keep smoking, just to counteract the fact that I do no excersise, to keep my free radical balance right.

Never heard of the band. will keep an e-lectron out for them... see what I did there. *hangs head in shame*
