Years ago (10ish) I read an article (that I&#x27;ve tried to find a few times since, but failed) by a researcher that tried to find the studies that said antioxidants were good for you.  He traced stories and articles back to... nothing. I think the first mention he found was in a popular magazine and it had no data or research to back it up.<p>I really wish I could find that article again. I remember being fascinated by it.<p>Just found this:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hsph.harvard.edu&#x2F;nutritionsource&#x2F;antioxidants&#x2F;#antioxidants" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hsph.harvard.edu&#x2F;nutritionsource&#x2F;antioxidants&#x2F;#an...</a> and disease prevention studies
