““Vitamin C also protects other tissues from free-radical damage. Whenever it encounters a free radical, it sacrifices one of its own electrons in order to 'pacify' and neutralize the intruder, destroying itself in the process. This running battle between vitamin C and free radicals occurs hundreds of thousands of times per second, and if you fail to supply your body with adequate quantities of this friendly free-radical scavenger, the enemy will eventually erode your body by attrition.””
