  The simple answer is that it’s a fantastic, high potency antioxidant. Antioxidants fight against free-radicals, which are basically the little dingies running through your system and damaging cells.
  There are scientists that believe that free-radicals are what causes the visible signs of aging, but there isn’t total agreement across the board at this time.

  I’ve heard of many people that believe that antioxidants can cure any diseases (including cancer, although those are more extreme beliefs) and make you live longer (which normally go back to the “free-radicals cause aging” idea). There are also many people that don’t believe any of that, though… like I said, there’s no general consensus when it comes to antioxidants.
