After reviewing all that research, the authors concluded that it shows that antioxidants "enhance the killing [of cancer cells] of therapeutic modalities [like chemo and radiation], decrease their side effects, and protect normal tissue." Isn't that what we all would wish from a medical treatment-- that it work better, have minimal side effects, and protect our healthy cells?
