Gravatar You probably saw him, but mistook him for a homeless person.


Gravatar Just follow the B.O. Make sure you look down, he's kinda short, too.


Gravatar Sweetie, he's living at the Chelsea; I'm certain you could find him with just a modicum of effort.

And didn't you waste your chance a year or so ago?


Gravatar mmm, acai. one of my favorite foods from brazil. glad it's finally showing up around here.


Gravatar Hey Ali Z what's it supposed to do exactly though? It's quite tasty but am not sure what anti oxidants do for one. Apart from it being reassuringly exoensive natch.


Gravatar Oh he's not that short. He just is next to UT.

Uch, yeah I know. Was just bored today and fancied something new. Like a spenny smoothie.


Gravatar here's a little primer about antioxidants. and remember, what they say applies to ALL cells throughout the body, including skin cells, which is why an antioxidant-rich diet can help one maintain a youthful appearance (or at least counter all the other damage we do through drinking, lack of sleep, etc)...

Q. What are antioxidants and how do they work?

A. Antioxidants act as cell protectors.

Oxygen, an essential element for life, can create damaging by-products during normal cellular metabolism. Antioxidants counteract these cellular by-products, called free radicals, and bind with them before they can cause damage. If left unchecked, free radicals may cause heart damage, cancer, cataracts, and a weak immune system.

Antioxidants work by: binding to the free radicals; transforming them into non-damaging compounds; or repairing cellular damage. Antioxidants come in a variety of forms and include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, the Carotenoids, and Selenium.


Gravatar Aren't those in wine, thank God?


Gravatar yeah but not as much.


Gravatar That why we should all drink heavily. More antioxidants that way.


Gravatar yep, and reds have more antioxidants than whites, because the seeds and the skins hold most of the antioxidants of the grapes, and those parts are included in reds.


Gravatar Sorry I missed you. You should know, though, that I'm so very very gay. Why do you think Uma Beard left me?


Gravatar Shut up, Ethan, or I'm going to slap you upside the head with my freakishly large hands, then find a basketball, palm it, and jump up into the air using my flipper feet to propel my towards the hoop for an authoritative slam dunk.


Gravatar It's flavinoids that are in wine- a type of antioxidant. There's some form of antioxidant in just about any food, outside of white sugar and flour.
