Golden tea is full of anti-oxidants
- ncmncm 7y agoAnti-oxidants turn out not to be as beneficial as they have been advertised to be. In particular, if excess amounts are not kept out of cells, they interfere with signaling systems within the cell that tell it to kill itself ("apoptosis") because it has begun doing wrong things. An example of cells that do not kill themselves when they should is cancer. People were just sure that large amounts of vitamin E would be good for us, but very large and carefully controlled studies showed that vitamin E supplements correlated with higher mortality.
- Shaya_writes 7y agoYes, you are right. This is really interesting thing to study. Everything in moderation is good. Excess or too less does more harm than good.
- aliswe 7y agoImpressive technical article packed with facts, very good! Only thing is perhaps the tone is just a tad bit too seo-ish or how you would put it. Point in case, "Curcumin has received worldwide attention for its multiple health benefits"... The parts in the article are stellar, I just find something in my heart regarding how it binds it all together. If that can be adjusted, I'd definitely see this being published in eg. NYT.
- Shaya_writes 7y agoThank you so much for your feedback. I have started publishing recently and I am learning a lot of new ways of writing and marketing, hence the SEO-ish tone. But you are right, my main aim is to share knowledge.
