Doesn’t matter. Hott. Why? Antioxdants don’t make it past your digestive system. If they did you would be seriously ill in hospital. Why? You body makes a lovely balance of oxdants. Why? Because the internet “nutrition/wellness/buy this” snake oil salespeople. These fail to point out that your body uses these nasty, nasty, nasty running amok oxidants that are sooooooooo bad for you, because your body isn’t really a finely honed and balanced machine, to kill invaders such as bacteria and viruses. If they were not there you would be VERY ill.

Is an experiment only carried on a mouse and not repeated relevant to humans. There is something called LD50 – Lethal Dose 50 – where how much of something will kill 50% of the poor mice being used. Coca Cola has a LD50. Better not drink that any more.

edit:Looks like the downvoters don’t like facts
