Free radicals are now blamed not only for making you look old but also making you fat. Dr. Zane Andrews, a neurologist at Monash University in Australia, says these oxidizing molecules damage the cells that tell us we're full. Free radicals emerge when we eat (something even the keenest dieter must do to survive), but they are especially prevalent when we gorge on candy bars, chips, and other carbohydrates. With every passing ear, these fullness signifiers suffer wear and tear - causing the "stop eating!" signal to get weaker and appetites (and possibly our stomachs) to get bigger. How to fight back??? Avoid junk and load up on colourful, antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables as well as supplements such as OPC-3, vitamin E and C.
