For several decades since the advent of Denham Harman’s Free Radical Theory of aging in the 1950’s the scientific community has believed that providing the cells of the body with a plentiful supply of the standard dietary oxidants (vitamins C, vitamin E, vitamin A, beta carotene and the carotenoids) would defeat the damaging forces of oxidative stress and reduce the incidence of degenerative disease.
We now understand that we may have been guilty of providing too much of a good thing; that flooding the body with high levels of standard antioxidants may, in fact, unwittingly compromise the body’s evolutionarily conserved mechanisms for antioxidant defense. These mechanisms lay in the profound ability of the thousands of plant-based compounds found in nature to speak directly to the soul of the cell.
Over the last decade, the immense strides made in epigenetics, the study of how external environmental factors can switch genes on and off, have enlightened the scientific community to relearn the wisdom of the ancients—that our food is our medicine and our medicine is our food.
