Excerpts from the Episode "Antioxidant All-Stars" of the Dr. Oz Show which aired May 2011. The show used the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner S2 Everest Edition to scan the Skin Carotenoid Scores of all the members of the audience. Dr. Oz, who strictly follows the diet recommended by the National Institute of Health ("NIH"), topped the BioScan. Antioxidants absorbed from food at the NIH recommended levels have been clinically proven to reduce the risks of acquiring degenerative disease. However, many doctors are against the use of antioxidant supplements, and with good reason, since these do not actually "supplement". People taking these kinds of "supplements" have consistently failed the Biophotonic Scanner. Are you using some of them? Find out with what Dr. Oz calls the "Ultimate Nutritional Lie Detector Test".
Following the NIH recommended diets do pose a lot of practical challenges for people and as shown in the video above, more than half of the audience (a sample population) do not observe them. Proper supplementation therefore would be the only viable option medically and practically. Such supplements should demonstrate an ability to improve BioScan scores since these are after all supposed to be supplementing "inadequate" diets. People should note also that fruits and vegetables have an antioxidant network that creates food synergy to increase BioScan scores. Most supplements in the market do not have a network of antioxidants and consequently fail the BioScan. Moreover, according to the National Cancer Institute, "single" vitamins and minerals have no cancer prevention properties. Hence distinction must be made as to the break-through research done on diets containing an antioxidant network that prevent cancer and "single" vitamins and minerals like vitamin E and beta-carotene that have been shown to not prevent cancer.
Special guest star was cancer-prevention pioneer William Li, M.D., President of the Angiogenesis Foundation. Dr. Li became the audience's favorite speaker at TED Talk Longbeach California in 2010 with his presentation, "Can we EAT to STARVE cancer?".
