Free radicals—molecules that are highly reactive with other cellular structures due to unpaired electrons—can cause damage to cells within the body by stealing their electrons via a process called oxidation. This can lead to oxidative stress, which may play a role in the development of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and more.
