Researchers develop compound that prevents free radical production in mitochondria - eviltoast
Buck Scientists develop specific, bioavailable compound that prevents and treats metabolic syndrome in mice – and they've put it in a pill.

Back in 1956, Denham Harman proposed that the aging is caused by the build up of oxidative damage to cells, and that this damage is caused by free radicals which have been produced during aerobic respiration [1]. Free radicals are unstable atoms that have an unpaired electron, meaning a free radical is constantly on the look-out for an atom that has an electron it can pinch to fill the space. This makes them highly reactive, and when they steal atoms from your body’s cells, it is very damaging.
