"Much of what we know about antioxidant nutrients we first learn from molecular biologists, who are on the front lines of research into the health benefits of these vitamins. For 40 years Dr. Packer has been a leading researcher fueling the antioxidant revolution. His latest book puts the power of antioxidants in easily understandable terms for the general public. Many people are now enthusiastically consuming vitamins C and E. Dr. Packer's research has discovered a network of five antioxidant nutrients--C and E along with coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid and glutathione--that do more than simply neutralize free radicals. The network also apparently has profound influences on genetic behavior--the foundation of our bodies and our health. The fascinating and quite reader-friendly book details compelling research into the myriad health benefits of the nutrients that comprise the antioxidant network. A must-read!"

"If you want to read authoritative data right from a researcher who has performed experiments using antioxidants and who has now translated these findings into practical advice to maintain health, then this is the book for you. Lester Packer of UC Berkeley calls his research nothing short of miraculous. Think of it... cataracts reversed, strokes overcome, heart disease halted, cancer thwarted with nothing more than eating good foods and taking a recommended antioxidant cocktail. Dr. Packer suggests an array of 5 antioxidants works synergistically together, though oddly he never cites any studies using all of these antioxidants (that's probably going to be reported in future research). This book is easy to read. Dr. Packer leaves no doubt about the benefits of antioxidants. -- Bill Sardi, health journalist"
