Hydrogen Water Bypasses Antioxidant Problem by Selectively Targeting Only Toxic Free Radicals
Paul Saladino MD
263. Why I Changed My Mind About Hydrogen Water (with Tyler LeBaron)
"Hydrogen is very different because it actually does not have the physical chemical property to neutralize these other free radicals. Hydrogen can only react or only neutralize the most toxic free radicals."
LeBaron explained that unlike conventional antioxidants that caused increased cancer and mortality in clinical trials, molecular hydrogen selectively neutralizes only the most toxic free radicals like hydroxyl radicals while preserving beneficial oxidative species needed for cellular signaling. This selectivity prevents the reductive stress problem that plagued high-dose antioxidant supplementation studies.
