Antioxidants are very good for the body. An Antioxidant is a molecule that has the ability to slow or prevent completely the oxidation of other molecules hence the name antioxidant.
With this ability they have garnered much praise as being able to slow down the body’s aging process among other things. Many people consume antioxidants everyday without knowing it, that’s because they are more
By Smith Chen Contrary to popular opinion, free radicals do not circulate throughout the body. The half-life of most free radicals varies in a range of a few nanoseconds to about 7 seconds duration. As you know, I am a physician. It's part of my profession to keep abreast of what's happening in medical /health research. Being retired helps, because doctors simply do not generally have the
Oxidative stress—Yes, various forms of Oxygen can actually damage cells in your body. These forms of oxygen are collectively referred to as ‘reactive oxygen’ and include free radicals, peroxides, and oxygen ions. Free radicals are molecular species with unpaired electrons which make them very reactive. An imbalance in your body between these reactive oxygen species [...]
This week's events point the way towards dealing effectively with religious extremism.
On the one hand, John McCain finally "denounced and rejected" the religious extremists who's endorsements he sought. First, McCain gave back pastor John Hagee's endorsement - the same endorsement he sought for over a year - saying:
"Obviously, I find these remarks [about Hitler doing God's work] and others deep
One of the first things we prioritized to purchase before our son was born was an air purifier. It was back in 2005 when we were renting an apartment in the ground floor of a four storey building and ventilation was not at its prime. This is especially a necessity in our home, [...]
Traditional fruits such as peaches, bananas, and strawberries are no longer the only add-ins used in these healthy drinks. More and more nutrition aficionados are moving to exotic or at least new fruits to make their smoothie concoctions. Nowadays, shakes are in major competition.

Excellent post today by NiceDeb putting together a list (and details) of all the terrorists, tyrants and radicals around the world including Hamas, FARC, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, New Black Panther party, Will Ayers and others that are rooting for Obama.
Is it unfair to ask why so many of our country’s sworn enemies, and their [...]
You may have heard people talk about free radicals before, but do you have any idea what they are? I didn’t, but I did some research on free radicals to try to give you a “For Dummies” perspective on the topic of free radicals. Free radicals do not really affect weight loss, but [...]
The riots have ended in Tibet, at least for the moment, and the Chinese government is in full swing with its campaign to prove they were caused by evil Tibetans who killed fellow Tibetans. The China Daily reports “of the 18 innocent people killed, three were Tibetans, and stores owned by Tibetans and Hui people [...]
By: James Zeller Nutrition used to be something like: "eat fresh food and stay away from potato chips" now we are told beware of 'free radicals' in the body. Antioxidants are supposed to be good for you, but how do we encourage one and fight the other?"If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself." -- Leon EldredWe live in an age where we are beginning to see an awareness developing between eating habits and good health. Several buzz phrases like low carb, high protein, and Hoodia are mentioned as a means to gaining a better life while honing a better physique.Another phrase that is repeated often is ''antioxidants".What exactly is an antioxidant and why is it important?Everyone has what is called 'free radicals' that roam throughout the body. These free r
This week, Al Jazeera triggered a major controversy when it broadcast the comments of Wafa Sultan, a psychologist living in the United States who is an ardent critic of Islamic extremism. Here is what Sultan said: All the religions and faiths have been subject throughout history to criticism and insults, and this helped to develop and amend them over time. The only faith which beheads those
In the past week, there have been two terrorist attacks by radical left wing groups in the United States. While neither caused injuries to people, both seemed to be designed to terrorize and intimidate those who don’t submit to the leftist agenda.
On Monday, three luxury “green” homes were set ablaze with explosive devices in a [...]
Free radicals are oxygen-containing chemicals that have an impaired electron. The impaired electron makes free radicals highly reactive to DNA, proteins, membranes, and other cell machineries, resulting in oxidative damages including DNA mutations, protein dysfunction, and destruction of membrane and other cell structures. These oxidative damages promote aging and increase the risk of age-related diseases such as [...]
Fail to ensure that your diet is adequate in anti-oxidants and you’re asking for your body to be attacked by free radicals. And the potential severity of this attack should not be underestimated, because free radicals are strongly implicated in the aging and degeneration of our cells and therefore of our bodies as a whole.
If you’re at all interested in diet and nutrition you’ve probably heard of free radicals and gathered that they’re regarded as highly damaging. You may also be aware of research suggesting that so-called “anti-oxidant” foods (sometimes referred to as “superfoods”) and supplements may play a useful role in counteracting the effects of these free radicals.
But what exactly are free radicals and anti-oxidants, and how do they do what they do within the body?
To provide a detailed explanation would probably require a PhD in molecular biochemistry, but the basics appear to be as follows.
Every cell in the body is comprised
Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is manufactured in your body and is widely used in the prevention of various diseases.
The main function of this antioxidant is to increase glutathione production, which helps to dissolve toxic substances in the liver.

A threat warning issued by the United States in Germany last month could involve attack plans by an al Qaeda-affiliated group of Kurdish militants, officials said on Friday. U.S. and German authorities said, however, that there was no new threat in Germany beyond the official April 20 State Department warning. They were responding to a report by ABC News on its Web site on Friday that officials believe terrorists were in the advanced planning stages for an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.Some German media reports have suggested involvement by Iraqi militants. However, U.S. officials rejected the notion of a role by Ansar al-Islam, a militant group of Iraqi Kurds and Arabs who have vowed to establish an independent Islamic state in Iraq. "There is intelligence reporting suggesting there is a group interested in staging an attack, potentially in Germany," said a U.S. official who asked not to be named because the issue involves classified information.In full

There's not much more that needs to be said. In the meantime, please watch the video. It is a call to action that I hope will inspire at least one more vet to be there. Thanks for taking the time! For more details of the event click here.
Watch the amazing video!
If the video does not touch you in any way. I pity you. And have a message for you, discontinue dishonoring our soldiers with your anti-American ranting and activities.

Virgil Goode, Virginia Congressman and religious bigot, went on a tirade during the House debate on the 58-word non-binding resolution opposing the troop escalation in Iraq. Think Progress has the video and transcript.
We are in the middle of a four-day marathon here. While I cannot say that I agree with all of the actions of the president in dealing with Iraq, I will not be supporting H.Con.Res. 63. The eyes of the world are upon this House and there will be commentary from the Middle East to the streets of small town America about what we do here over this four-day period even though this resolution does not carry the weight of law.
When the commentary begins in the Middle East, in no way do I want to comfort and encourage the radical Muslims who want to destroy our country and who want to wipe the so-called infidels like myself and many of you from the face of the Earth. In no way do I want to aid and assist the Islamic jihadists who want the crescent and star to wave over the Capit
The Telegraph via Dhimmi Watch: No criminal offences were committed in a Muslim protest over the Pope outside Westminster Cathedral [ed. this one], police have decided. The Metropolitan Police has also decided not to take action against the controversial Muslim figure, Anjem Choudary, who allegedly said in a television interview about the row over the Pope that anyone who insulted the Muslim faith would be "subject to capital punishment". Police received about 25 complaints from members of the public about the protest, which was said to have left worshippers attending the cathedral on September 17 feeling "upset" and "intimidated".... However, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, told a meeting of his force's police authority yesterday that, after reviewing the evidence, Scotland Yard officers had concluded that "no substantive offences" were committed during the cathedral demonstration. Sir Ian said that the cathedral authorities had expressed satisfaction with th
