I was reading the article, The antioxidant myth: a medical fairy tale, when I noticed this in the fifth paragraph:
Exposure to X-rays, ozone, tobacco smoke, air pollutants, microbial infections, industrial chemicals and intensive exercise also trigger free radical production.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't tobacco smoke an air pollutant? Why was it listed separately? I'll tell you why. It's part of the politically correct agenda of modern journalism. Why not drop the dreaded tobacco word into the article to score points from non-smokers? The writer lost her credibility with me in that one sentence.
