The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
oxidation is simply loss of electrons reduction is gain of electrons so what we're talking about in terms of oxidative stress is when we say oxidative stress we are meaning that we are ingesting molecules that tend to strip electrons from other molecules or molecules that have an extra electron but they can donate to other molecules so we're just talking about molecules with like rolled electrons those are free radicals those are oxidized molecules that's what we don't want
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
oxidation is loss of electrons so an oxidized LDL has essentially had some of the electrons on some of the molecules on the surface of the LDL stolen or it's been involved in some sort of oxidation reaction
there's this balance between oxidation and reduction and either one of each too much of either one is bad for the human body you can have oxidative stress which is a word that people probably heard of but you can also have reductive stress
