This is not new at all. Nick Lane writes very specifically about this in “power, sex, suicide”. Specifically, ingested antioxidants have no pathway to enter the cell where we believe antioxidants would be helpful… And even if they could they would almost certainly hurt us by interfering with essential cell signaling mechanisms. Bad cells need to die. You should not get in the way of this process. In fact, you should probably encourage it. The experimental basis for this dates to the early 80s. Yes, that means the entire antioxidant edifice has been bullshit the entire time.
