Just to pick on a tiny part of that post, consuming anti-oxidants hasn't been reliably shown to have any health benefits.

If consuming anti-oxidants has any effect, it's not necessarily a positive one, since the body uses oxidation for various processes, for example the immune system.

You might be consuming anti-oxidants aiming to benefit your health, yet be negatively impacting your immune system's ability to fight infection and prevent cancer.
