The
Skins Oxidation Process.
The substance that we know as Free Radicals, are big
enemies of human cells and, for many years they have been the target of scientists,
as they case aging by way of cell death, as well as causing disease, such as
several types of cancer.
The Free Radicals are the cause of oxidation, the effects of which can be easily
seen in fruits, such as apples and pears, where the dark coloring is caused
by this process.
In humans this process of oxidation attacks cellular structures, such as DNA,
and other organelas, causing the destruction of the collagen, elastin and proteoglycanes.
