Scientists have discovered that the soy sauce we consume daily is actually a great anti-aging and anti-cancer food. It helps eliminate free radicals that cause aging and cancer, and its effectiveness is several times greater than that of vitamins C and E.
After studying common Asian condiments, Professor Bao Liewei, a biochemistry professor at the National University of Singapore, found that soy sauce has the effect of eliminating free radicals. One drop of soy sauce can eliminate 47 to 147 units of free radicals in one minute, which is more effective than red wine, which can only eliminate 5 to 22 units of free radicals in the same time.
Scientists have pointed out for many years that the human body continuously produces free radicals during its growth process. This substance promotes human aging and can even lead to cell mutations and cancer. However, oxygen, which is indispensable to life, plays a "helping the evildoer" role in the formation of free radicals. When oxygen breaks down food, it produces free radicals to aid digestion. However, when there are too many free radicals, they can damage human cells and organ tissues, causing illness.
Although the human body itself has natural antioxidant functions and can secrete antioxidant substances, it is still not enough to balance the effects of free radicals. Therefore, scientists have been committed to finding natural antioxidants.
