Heart-Disease: NOT ALL ANTIOXIDANTS ARE CREATED EQUAL!

The growing numbers of health conscious people today living more
vibrant lives owe much to the efforts and research of certain
pioneers who braved ridicule, for without them, many of us now
wouldn't be aware of the general benefits of taking antioxidant
supplements.

To take a particular notable example, great scientist and
humanitarian Linus Pauling (the only man to win 2 unshared Nobel
Prizes, one in Chemistry and one for Peace) urged people to
supplement with Vitamin C after he became convinced of its myriad of
benefits. Pauling personally used Vitamin C for the last three
decades of his life, lived to the ripe old age of 93, and was
instrumental in helping this vitamin become as popular as it is now.
