[I do not own this video]

Do you know Oxygen, our life giver is also our mortal enemy? As part of life, our body wear & tear that literally leads our body to disease states.

Free radicals are molecules that have an unpaired electron. They are highly unstable and extremely short-lived. They are extremely volatile and reacting aggressively which cause damage to our cells. They are formed from the process of respiration where transfer of electrons from one molecule to the next.

Free radicals are inevitable, as we are exposed to environmental pollutants, industrial chemicals, agricultural pesticides, cigarette smoke and radiation. Even vigorous exercise will release a damaging flood of free radicals that can injure your cells if they're not protected.

This video shows how free radicals turns the cut apple brown when exposed to air and the best way to minimize its damage is to have potent antioxidants to protect it.

  • so are centrums bad? i dont get the point of the test

  • @davidjohn83

    Not sure, I never did this test. You might wanna try it.

    Someone show me this video, so I decided to post it.

  • Okay so is it the antioxidants that keeping the apple protective from turning rusty looking?

  • Yes, for example. Lemon or pineapple juices, both of which naturally contain antioxidants, and they can be used to coat apple slices and slow enzymatic browning.

  • But wait!!

    When an apple turns brown it has nothing to do with free radicals!

    Free radicals damage refer to the damage of DNA within our cells!

    On the other hand an apple turning brown is an enzyme reaction! Its the enzyme polyphenol oxidase that binds oxygen to iron phenols creating a dark brwon colored pigment! Its brown because the compound formed is a transition metal compound similar to the way that a dark brown/red rust is formed on nails!!

    I'd happily welcome a debate over this :)

  • that only proves that Centrum makes a Rich Nutritive Soup for bacterias and others microorganisms

    more than oxidation, the centrum apple was rotting really fast!

see all

  • ?? lol  ....turning brown is natural...if not... they like macdonnalds ..hmmm...

  • @davidjohn83 it will help if the vid actually list its supplements contents... but what I can see is that the slice in the centrums are colonized by fungi... its nothing big since spores are everywhere and it make sense that the vitamin broth provide a good nutrient medium for its proliferation (microbials are actually VERY finicky to grow on its own). Its like doing a tissue culture. :)

  • i want my food to break down, thats why I don't eat putty. That stuff is preserving dead tissue, not promoting the living.

  • fuck with centrum you can die quickly. did they put 1 capsule in water or the box ?

  • LOL the music

  • Crappy experiiment, you let the first apple to be fill with fungus.

  • so why did the centium make the apple look so nasty
