Free Radicals
Free radicals are produced during many essential metabolic reactions within the human body as well as by other external factors, including exposure to X-rays, ozone, cigarette smoking and air pollutants.
Free radical damage to DNA is implicated in the causation of Degenerative Disease, both directly and indirectly.
The article below covers this in great depth:

(K. Bagchi and S. Puri, Free radicals and antioxidants in health and disease, Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, Volume 4, Issue 2, 1998, Page 350-360)
Fortunately we are able to protect the cells of our bodies from free radical damage. Minerals and Vitamins (anti-oxidants) play a key role in neutralising harmful free radicals within the body. For more information, please refer to the Protecting Your Cells section.
