Summary: Confirms the power of antioxidants
Comment: If you want to read authoritative data right from a researcher who has performed experiments using antioxidants and who has now translated these findings into practical advice to maintain health, then this is the book for you. Lester Packer of UC Berkeley calls his research nothing short of miraculous. Think of it... cataracts reversed, strokes overcome, heart disease halted, cancer thwarted with nothing more than eating good foods and taking a recommended antioxidant cocktail. Dr. Packer suggests an array of 5 antioxidants works synergistically together, though oddly he never cites any studies using all of these antioxidants (that's probably going to be reported in future research). This book is easy to read. Dr. Packer leaves no doubt about the benefits of antioxidants. -- Bill Sardi, health journalist

Summary: Good practical advice
Comment: Dr Packer's book is great as it also gives a comprehensive list of various foodstuffs that contain antioxidants. Therefore one does not have to buy the drugs (either separately or thru Dr Packer's web store) to benefit from antioxidant rich diet. I've used his antioxidant cocktail for over two years now, I am also choosing more carefully what I eat. As a result I feel great: gone are flus and other maladies. Dr Packer explains the effect of each antioxidant and their interplay in our body very well, even for a non-native English speaker like me.

Summary: Very interesting if it's your first look at antioxidants
Comment: I liked Packer's book. He managed to leave the subject interesting enough for people who are not experienced with antioxidants. I honestly had little clue about it and the book explains things quite well.
Of course only an expert can point any serious mistakes in this book and maybe other flaws, but the public in general will like it.
After reading the book, I thought it was amazing how people were not taking those antioxidant cocktails, it makes no sense, why not?
Of course, after visiting a few health shops (locally and on the internet) my doubts were cleared. THE PRICE. Buying all supplements separately is outrageously expensive (At least for 24 year old unemployed student like me). Buying the whole pack from Lester will be cheaper, but we're still talking about some considerable $.
Of course, the first move is to change your diet and start eating better, then choose the supplements better for you (in all a$pects).
Packer does repeat himself a bit, but it makes sense repeating some info in different areas of the book.
Overall I liked it...
