Answer 1

Answer:

True

Free radicals are unstable molecules that lost an electron and will seek to replace it as it gives rise. These are formed from oxygen and although about 95% of the oxygen we consume is for energy, the rest generates these harmful molecules.

Free radicals cause aging, DNA alterations and cardiovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, increase levels of bad cholesterol and cancer.

There are also other elements that increase the number of free radicals in our body and these are: tobacco, radiation, excessive consumption of processed foods, pesticides and industrial pollution.
