This week we are trying to solve nature conservation problems using social psychology. Humans are a part of nature, and we need to be responsible for protecting it rather than potentially irreversible damage. During our conversation, we discuss topics such as animal control, green prescriptions, Australian Dingoes, Canadian super wolves, spying on other animals and what we can do as individuals to preserve nature.

Antioxidants are good for you…that’s all you need to know right? WRONG! This episode looks into the research behind antioxidants. What are Antioxidants? Where do Antioxidants come from? How do Antioxidants work? And is it possible the Antioxidants could be bad for you? 

To check out the Video Version: 

We are also investigating related molecules like free radicals, reactive oxygen species and processes like oxidative stress and disease formation. 

Hopefully by the end of this episode you better understand the science behind antioxidants and why maintaining a balance of oxidants and antioxidants is crucial to good health. This can be achieved through a healthy and varied diet, protection from certain health hazards and not from simply taking a pill every day.
