If you're living on the poor diet of the sad American diet, your body is not getting the plethora of vita chemical, vita flavonoids, and antioxidants that are inherently in fruit and vegetables, which counteract the free radicals. Free radicals are unstable little molecules floating around in your system looking for an extra electron so that they can become balanced, and they act like little 'Pac-Man's gobbling off electrons from your healthy cell membrane. This then weakens the healthy cell membrane at that point whilst making the free radicals stronger. If you have less and less antioxidants, vita flavonoids, and vita chemicals coming into your body from healthy foods, whilst eating a lot of the denatured foods, that then creates more of the free radicals. You are then going to have a massive population of these free radicals, which in turn will result in a suppressed immune system and damage DNA. Eventually a major illness occurs such as cancer.
