Remove prevention studies
[edit]The section on prevention studies should be removed from the objections because they apply to prevention rather than 'therapy.' The inclusion of large scale low dose prevention studies is not appropriate in a topic on treatment which involves higher doses of "antioxidants" used as drugs - often to generate free radicals in the tissue.

Other uses
[edit]Presuming redox therapy is that same as anti-oxidant therapy, isn't it used to treat other illnesses caused by red-ox reactions, like certain renal failures? mic 15:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Cancer cells an oxidising environment?
[edit]- "As cancer cells rely on an oxidating environment to assist their growth and division, the ascorbate is converted into dehydroascorbate and thence to peroxide much more readily than in healthy cells."
This statement seems very dubious. All living cells have a reducing environment in their cytosol. I'll remove this to the talk page until a reliable source is provided. Tim Vickers (talk) 06:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Citations
[edit]Could we update the footnote references to the newer style? I can provide many of the citations needed to support the statements made in this article, but it could be frustrating having to renumber all the footnotes every time a new reference is added. Also, could we try to make all the references follow the same format? --Melissa Ge (talk) 04:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
