I tend to believe that these two groups may not be a good
criteria...Kenneth Cooper addressess this stuff in terms of 'free
radicals' and is a very powerful voice for the use of anti-oxidants in
conjunction with moderate aerobic excercise. In my own mind, I would
never cease running, because I know for certain, thast had I not become
a runner and changed my life style, and physical health, I would have
been dead by now. So, I use Pyncogenol, ginsana, kh3, vit E, C, A, and
other anti-oxidants several times a day.
