Can Antioxidants Help in Cancer Prevention and Treatment?
Antioxidants are compounds that can neutralize ROS, potentially reducing oxidative stress and its associated damage. While dietary antioxidants like vitamins C and E have been studied for their cancer-preventive properties, the results are mixed. Some studies suggest that antioxidants can protect normal cells from oxidative damage, while others indicate that they may also protect cancer cells, potentially interfering with cancer therapies that rely on ROS to kill cancer cells.
