Your articles on hydration make repeated reference to the benefits of antioxidants. But you have in the past reported these as being debunked (24 August 2013, p 32).
The editor writes:
• That earlier article was mainly about antioxidant supplements. It seems pretty settled that these do no good. In food and drink, though, antioxidants have no ill effect and may even be beneficial.
