Unfortunately, even the most recent studies have not been able to determine the appropriate amount of antioxidants that are needed in an antioxidant diet. Studies have shown that in a normal antioxidant diet, Vitamin E and beta-carotene works as antioxidants but with a too-high intake, they can work as a pro-oxidant and actually cause additional harm.
