In Plain English: A free radical is simply a cell that has lost a negative ion. There is another way you can look at free radicals, that is through the eyes of a chemist, The chemist would say: Free radicals are unstable fragments of molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons. An unpaired electron is one that occupies an atomic orbital by itself. Free radicals are involved in oxidation reactions, combustion reactions, and many other biological reactions. In Plain English: A free radical's mission in life is to steal a negative ion from a healthy cell. The chemist: Radicals are formed due to the breaking of covalent bonds. A homiletic fusion occurs when one electron from each pair leaves with each atom. In Plain English: Free radicals are caused by poor nutrition, stress, pollution, chemicals in our food, exposure to radiation, prescription drugs, first and second hand smoke, lack of exercise and a host of others. The chemist: Oxygen is the major promoter of free radicals in living cells. Oxygen in most biological organisms allows for the formation of the superoxide molecule. It is the superoxide molecule that produces the harmful hydroxide radical. In Plain English: Silica Hydride has been shown to effective neutralize the hydroxyl radical in university studies. Let's see what all this looks like. Continue.
