I think your link to Emma is broken - it...Hi Chris<br /><br />I think your link to Emma is broken - it is now:<br /><br />http://blog.plantpoisonsandrottenstuff.info/<br /><br />I think the jury is out on whether seeking out and eating antioxidants from plants is good or bad, I am leaning towards the latter. The important oxidation is what is going on inside your body, not on the grill. If you have high HBA1C, fructosamine and oxLDL that is what is important and these are not determined by eating "antioxidants" near as much as avoiding "oxidants" like fructose and avoiding things that are susceptible to oxidative damage and propagate it in your body like linoleic acid.<br /><br />The ontology of the antioxidant idea is the near religious belief, against evidence of all randomized trials, that fruit and vegetable consumption is "good" and animal products are "bad". It is an ad hoc hypothesis that is seeking justification so that the standard paradigm of healthy fruits and vegetables can be promoted. It is only mildly biologically plausible and there is no good clinical evidence for it at all so far. <br /><br />I am not a believer.<br /><br />A far as alcohol, I think the health benefits are grossly exaggerated because the cultural bias of educated white people is that they like to have a few drinks. Is it an accident that we are looking at substances in red wine and not "40's" of malt liquor? There is no way resveratrol is more metabolically important than ethanol as a hepatotoxin. The idea is simply ludicrous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
