Study Puts "?" Behind Beneficial Health Effects of Veggies! Is There No Correlation Between Antioxidant Content & Beneficial Health Effects of Cucumber, Lotus & Rape!?

Written by | published on

Don't obsess about "optimal" antioxidant contents, just eat your veggies! Over the past couple of weeks, ... no actually over the past years I have repeatedly written about the concept of (mito-)hormesis and its consequences for the well-established, but not necessarily accurate free radical theory of aging (and for some people everything else). ROS, i.e. reactive oxygen species, have been established as an important signalling molecule that is - among other things - heavily involved in the insulin sensitizing effects of exercise. "Inflammation" makes muscles grow and burns body fat and the "what doesn't kill me makes me strong" principle appears to reign everywhere you look.

Health, performance, longevity: It's all about ROS-management. The age-diffe- rence that's showing in the contemporary evidence pro/against the negative effects of vitamin C + E on exercise induced adapation actually confirms that. I am pretty sure, the results of the Paulsen study I wrote about in " Study Confirms Antioxidants (C+E) Are Bad For Healthy People Who Train, But in Some Subjects C+E Increase the Fat Loss Effects of HIIT + HIT by a Whopping 60%" ( read more ) in February will still resonate in your ears. Impaired adaptation, but increased fat loss!? That sounds strange, but if you think of the inhibitory effects "bad inflammation" (see box below) will have on your body composition it is logical to assume that the provision of the simple reactive oxygen specimen (ROS) scavengers vitamin C & E would reduce the baseline inflammation and restore a person's sensitivity to "good inflammation" - the same ROS signalling, Nobel laure...

Inflammation Is a True Fat Burner: BSO-Induced Glutathione Depletion Wards off Fat Gains on Hypercaloric Diet

Image 1: This little bugger obviously has too little inflammation going on ;-) Are you "on fire"? Inflammation has been implicated as the root cause of almost all modern disease: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, you name it. Soothing the flames via natural and supplemental anti-oxidants has thusly been proposed and marketed as a solution for many of the aforementioned health problems. Yet, despite tons of vitamins, anti-oxidants and all the other "healthy" stuff we are taking and consuming on a daily basis, the number of morbidly obese people, diabetics and heart attack patients appears to be ever-increasing... how can that be? A possible answer to that question comes from scientists from the Saha Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington, Kentucky, US ( Findeisen. 2011 ) - we simply got everything wrong ! The observation that insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction usually occur in...
