The antioxidant theories have been around for a while.
This seems to say that they truly are good stuff...

I found this in an article by Russell Johnston at NaturalNews.com:
"Kaikobad Irani cautiously summarizes his research by saying that 'Control of signaling pathways involving oxidants may explain why some antioxidants appear to prevent development of certain cancers.' If you're equally inclined to caution, you may wish to make sure you're getting plenty of antioxidants.
There are plenty of sources of antioxidants in a good diet, of course, but by far the most potent and effective antioxidant known to science is as cheap and available as a long, dark night: that is, melatonin. Turning your light switch to the off position earlier, keeping it off longer, and making sure that you are always sleeping in real darkness are excellent natural ways to boost your melatonin production. Even occasional changes in your routine, staying up for a couple of extra hours, can reduce your melatonin for weeks, just as jet lag does."
