Diets which are high in antioxidants, such as vegetables and fruits, have been found to promote good health. Vitamins C and E, selenium, and carotenoids are a few examples of antioxidants. The topics included in this book on antioxidants are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world in relation to antioxidants.
