The imbalance between free radical formation and the mechanisms involved in eliminating them results in oxidative stress which lies at the baseline of many diseases. There are many pathological conditions that can be prevented or even be cured by the application of antioxidants. Food containing plenty of natural antioxidants is very important in the maintenance of health and in the prevention of many illnesses. In some diseases supplementation of antioxidants in the proper form and dosage may be irrelevant. According to nutrigenomics the biologically active components of nutrition, including antioxidants, have an influence on the body in every single cell at all levels. Therefore the quality of nutrients is one of the important factors determining the appropriate cell function.
自由基生成与清除自由基机制之间的失衡会导致氧化应激，而氧化应激是许多疾病的根源。许多病理状况可以通过应用抗氧化剂来预防甚至治愈。富含天然抗氧化剂的食物对于维持健康和预防多种疾病非常重要。在某些疾病中，以适当形式和剂量补充抗氧化剂可能并无关联。根据营养基因组学，营养的生物活性成分，包括抗氧化剂，会在各个层面上对身体的每一个细胞产生影响。因此，营养素的质量是决定细胞正常功能的重要因素之一。
