In the 1990s we began to understand that free radical damage is involved in artery-clogging atherosclerosis and health problems like vision loss, cancer or chronic diseases. Studies have shown that the damage especially affects people with a low consumption of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables...and coffee. Is this just a fairy tale promoted by the coffee industry? Scientists at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Wädenswil wanted to get to the bottom of the question.
在20世纪90年代，我们开始明白自由基损伤与动脉堵塞的动脉粥样硬化以及诸如视力丧失、癌症或慢性病等健康问题有关。研究表明，这种损伤尤其会影响那些抗氧化剂丰富的水果、蔬菜……以及咖啡摄入量低的人。这只是咖啡行业编造的童话故事吗？位于瓦登斯维尔的苏黎世应用科学大学（ZHAW）的科学家们想要弄清楚这个问题的真相。
