mccoy Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think that refers to the excess of antioxydants, especially in supplements, which may prevent the natural signalling action of ROS. I have my strong doubts that natural antioxidants may exhibit that action, that would imply that some natural constituents of foods are carcinogens.
