Did you know that free radicals steal electrons from your body’s healthy molecules to balance themselves, and in the process, they can harm a cell’s membrane and genetic material.

Antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C offer free radicals their own electrons and so save cells from oxidative damage. “Free radical damage can occur as the result of normal body processes as we age and can also be the result of exposure to cancer-promoting chemicals,” Dr. Frei explains.

Vitamin C rich colon cleanse supplements can help prevent mouth, throat, stomach and intestinal cancers by neutralizing cancer-promoting nitrosamines. Nttrosamines are produced during the digestion of nitrites and nitrates. Nitrites are preservatives found in especially high concentrations in meats such as hot dogs and ham, while nitrates are naturally present in vegetables.
