Answer to Question 1

Answer: Antioxidants stabilize free radicals. Free radicals are produced by pollution, sunlight, cigarette smoke, strenuous exercise, and stress. They cause a chain reaction that causes damage to cells and is linked to cancer, aging, Alzheimer's, dementia, heart disease, arthritis, and Parkinson's disease.

Answer:
 Carotenoids are found in red, orange, and deep green fruits and vegetables. They may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, and age-related eye diseases.
 Flavonoids are found in soy, berries, tea, and chocolate. They may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, blood clotting, and high blood pressure.
