Jacob Rickards current event 9/2/10

In the article "Antioxidants aren't always good for you and can impair muscle function, study shows" is a article that explains that too much exposure of antioxidants. Scientists in K-State's Cardiorespiratory Excercise Labratory have been researching on how to improve oxygen delivery during physical activity with the exposure to antioxidants. The studies show that sometimes antioxidants can weaken muscle function. With lab studies of antioxidants being performed more and more, they have come to realize that antioxidants can sometimes back fire on you. Too much of a dosage of this medicine can in some cases make the problem worse. Antioxidants are a popular medicine that some people use in their daily lives. With problems being found in this drug, we might be seeing some recalls in it in the future.

In my opinion, this article is a very interesting and valuable for this time. Antioxidants is one of the most popular prescibed drugs in the world today and finding problems in it can really be valuable to someone who is using it. If problems keep occuring we might have a recall on this drug. If a recall was necessary many people will be in some trouble. I really hope that this problem stops soon and i hope scientists are finding a new drug that has the same effects as antioxidants; but making it not a antioxidant. Kinda like a coke to a pepsi. They are both different, but both do the same thing.
