The screening runs produced surprises, identifying 22 antioxidants that damaged DNA. Three of the antioxidants -- resveratrol, genistein and baicalein -- are currently used -- or being studied -- to treat several disorders, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis and chronic hepatitis, as well as serving as an anti-aging treatment.
Not only did the antioxidants damage the DNA, the researchers found, but also, in dividing cells (such as in tumors), the antioxidants can be lethal, killing the disease-causing cells.
....
The findings do raise concerns about using antioxidants to treat disorders, as treatment with high doses may cause unexpected DNA damage that leads to other problems. "Clearly," Dr. Myung said, "much more study will be needed."

Hmmm. It did seem to focus on high levels of antioxidants, and it definitely wasn't tested as a topical application to regular skin cells.
I bet they will find that dosages applied topically are too low to cause DNA damage. But I'm not a scientist, nor do I play one on tv!  |

LOL. I am not either, but I would be really interested in hearing more about the antioxidants topically applied and if they could damage DNA or not! Remember reading from Yarosh (sp?) that C could possibly break down elastin? |

I do remember that!! And I would like to know more as well. |

It'll be interesting, though, to find out if dermarolling these antioxidants is harmful. Yikes! |

| It's always annoying to read something once thought good may actually harm. True for multivitamins, quinoa, agave, etc. It almost feels like a game. |

Agree. Eggs are good, eggs are bad, coffee is good, coffee is bad, and it goes on and on. I still think the key is moderation in all things. |

I agree with you. Excess is seldom good. |
