There are a lot of such diets and creams available these days as claim to defeat ageing with their antioxidant constituents.

But according to a new study, antioxidant may do nothing good against ageing.

In their experiments on Nematode worms, the scientists gave higher antioxidant powers to avoid tissue damaging to them, but they found that despite doing that they couldn’t live longer.

Researchers from University College London say, there is not any clear evidence that show antioxidant can slow ageing.

Antioxidants have been hyped a lot in the health and beauty industries and people have been trusting in them because of this hype, but antioxidants age-fighting properties have been based on a theory that was presented in 1956.
