damage the body. Free radicals are primarily a by-product of oxygen. During aerobic metabolism‚ each cell in the body utilizes oxygen to make energy so that it can do its job. Just as burning wood forms smoke as a by-product‚ the body creates by-products called free radical oxidants‚ or free radicals‚ when cells burn oxygen. These dangerous free radicals cause extra oxygen to damage cells in the body as they react to molecules in and around the cells. A free radical floating around in the body seeks another
