Free radicals are formed during normal body metabolism. But in a healthy body, their production is kept in check.
When free radicals increase abnormally, they may convert (a) normal cells to abnormal cancerous cells, or (b) cause arteriosclerosis which in turns, results in (c) heart attacks or (d) high blood pressure. According to some theories, free radicals are the source of all diseases.
Barley grass contains an abundance of the enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD) which breaks down free radicals.
The herbicide paraquat kills plants by causing them to manufacture free radicals. However, paraquat cannot kill barley, because it contain large amounts of SOD. Obviously, it is important to consume a sufficient amount of SOD, and Barley Leaves Extract is an excellent source.
