Uganda:High Antioxidant Foods You Must Eat Regularly
[Monitor] An antioxidant is a molecule that constrains the oxidation of other molecules. If oxidation takes place, there is production of free radicals, leading to chain reactions that may damage cells. Antioxidants therefore help prevent cell damage caused by oxidants. The antioxidants compounds naturally occur in certain fruits and vegetables and they come with several benefits to the body. (Source: AllAfrica News: Health and Medicine)

Microcapsules gain a new power -- scavenging reactive oxygen species
(University of Alabama at Birmingham) Stable, biocompatible microcapsules have gained a new power -- the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species.

Winemaking was once a very simp...
