Its a long explanation but it all basically comes down to antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are byproducts of metabolism and roam around the body damaging any cell it touches. When you have to many free radicals you begin to damage many cells which lead to diseases. Especially cancer which is by definition an uncontrolled cell duplication. Cells usually dupicate when one copy becomes damages..ie free radicals. This can turn out of control when the body is constantly duplicated cells at a high rate. Cancer ensues. Apoptosis is programmed cell death which the body usually does to cells that are damaged or deformed, when this fails it can begin duplicating the deformed cells causing diseases. So thats how free radicals destroy the body and how antioxidants help prevent diseases
