By the time they figure out this stuff I'll be dead.

A study published recently in Neurology found no association between
an individual's total intake of antioxidants and a lower risk of stroke
and dementia, Fox News
reports. However, previous studies have shown links between
antioxidants and reduced disease risk. Researchers noted that the type
of antioxidant, not necessarily just the quantity, is what matters.
The antioxidants in question during the study were flavanoids and
were attributed mostly to the participants' consumption of coffee and
tea. In previous studies, antioxidants like vitamin C and a diet rich in
fruits and vegetables were found to reduce the risk of stroke,
according to the publication. Others have shown that a high intake of
vitamin E, found in foods like almonds, sunflower seeds and spinach, can
lower the risk of dementia.
"This study suggests that we really need to be specific about the
antioxidants we're taking in to reduce dementia and stroke risk," study
author Dr. Elizabeth Devore, of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and
Women's Hospital in Boston, told the news outlet.
