Taking antioxidant supplements
Food and supplement companies talk about antioxidants as if they're disease-fighting warriors that can do no wrong. That's not always the case.
Experts do agree that are great for your health. But antioxidants in pill form don't appear to be beneficial. They could even cause harm.
There's evidence that taking antioxidant supplements can increase the risk of death, for example, and one massive study even had to be stopped early because the participants taking antioxidant supplements were getting more lung cancer than the ones taking a placebo.
The bottom line: Get your antioxidants from foods.
