Today, we’re going to talk about oxidation.
What is oxidation?
Originally oxidation meant adding oxygen to a compound and losing an electron. When you lose an electron from an atom, you create a free radical. A free radical can cause damage to tissue, DNA, etc. Now the oxidation definition has expanded to the creation of free radicals without oxygen.
An antioxidant donates an electron to make things more symmetrical and stabilizes the atom.
When you have too much oxidation versus antioxidants, that’s called oxidative stress.
Examples of an oxidant:
• Glucose
• Vegetable oils
• Iron
• Pollution
• Chemicals
• Low antioxidants
Vegetable oil is more like seed oil. It’s mostly GMO, highly processed, and has trace amounts of herbicide. It creates more free radicals, inflammation, and depletes antioxidants.
In restaurants, these oils are sometimes used over and over. This highly processed and oxidized grease is then recycled and used in animal feed.

Excellent research, particularly about the Ethoxyquin and Monsantos anti life behaviour. Thank you for sharing your enlightenment. Very much appreciated.

[@mairisbriedis6967]

"Excellent research", "enlightnment". Dr. Berg literally read a few sentences from Wikipedia article on "Ethoxyquin". He even left the citation numbers, of which particulary interesting to you might be the "citation needed" after Monsanto sentence. It means there is no source for this information. Anyway, I am offtopic here, as everything Dr. said might be more or less true, but, please, be more critical, especially against authorities.

This is one of the easiest to understand presentations on the body's creation of free radicals through the process of lipid peroxidation caused by the impact of environmental conditions on so much of the food we eat. The key to restorative health often lies in the management of those free radicals before they can cause unhealthy destruction and cell death (apoptosis) in the body.

How far has it come that people can rename a pesticide as an antioxidant (unpunished)

curious Same way glyphosates are sold as weed killers but were created as antibacterials - that end up killing everything, even the healthy microbes. That's why our soil is turning to sand. Nothing organic can survive.
