Abstract: Conflicting information abounds regarding the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. In the midst of contradicting information regarding these nutrients, antioxidants (in supplement form) are being aggressively promoted by supplement manufacturers as miracle products for preventing disease and enhancing health. Health educators are sometimes called upon to provide recommendations regarding antioxidant nutrients. This paper discusses some of the accumulating evidence on these nutrients and their antioxidant actions. It also presents information to guide health educators in responding to questions about antioxidants.
