thats about the gist of it

----------------- SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Dark soya sauce, widely used in east Asia, may prove to be more effective than red wine and vitamin C in combating human cell damage, researchers in Singapore said.
ADVERTISEMENT Scientists found that the sauce -- derived from fermented soya beans -- contains antioxidant properties about 10 times more effective than red wine and 150 times more potent than vitamin C, Singapore's Strait Times reported on Saturday.
Antioxidants -- found in red wine, fruits and vegetables -- counter the effects of free radicals, unstable atoms which attack human cells and tissues.
Free radicals have been linked to the aging process as well as a range of ailments including Parkinson's disease, cancer and heart disease.
The National University of Singapore study also found that the sauce improved blood flow by as much as 50 percent in the hours after consumption.
"There's a preventative aspect, showing that it may potentially slow down the rate of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases," research team leader Professor Barry Halliwell said.
But he cautioned against taking large amounts of dark soya sauce because of its high salt content, which could lead to high blood pressure.

personally i use lots of this stuff, and im amazed to see that is has about 150x the antioxidants of vitamin C?!?!

Are free radicals electrons or atoms?

all i know is that neutralising them is good beacsuse they lead to cell mutation and cancer.
i dont believe that they are electrons in this case, probably molecules?
