antioxidant that can help reduce the damage caused by free radicals,
unstable oxygen molecules generated by normal metabolism that can damage

didn’t find the same properties with fruit possibly because the most
common antioxidant found in them is Vitamin C, which hasn’t been
consistently found to protect against mental deterioration.
