This is a complex subject with a lot of double talk existing.
The body has been making them since Day 1.
Seems Duncan had some interesting comments on this recently.
Considering they exist in the body, I can't believe they are all bad.
which was the theory why a lot of athletes have heart attacks etc., and
also why you should take anti oxidant drinks after exercising.
That may well be true, but I think the only time to worry would be over
exercise and primarily in unhealthy people.
I have exercised relatively hard over lots of years. Had never even heard
the term many years back, and of course was not concerned.
As for drinks after exercising, logical or course. Water, fruit juice or
whatever.
One coach said long ago, you could not damage a healthy heart by extreme
exercise. He had pushed football players, pushing the ground slide, until
they passed out. No heart damage.
Many wise and knowledgeable coaches have had lots of good ideas over the years.
Some free radicals kill bacteria and even virus. A healthy body does not
have the habit of making bad things.
For thousands of years, man has pushed the body to the limit, even abusing
it at times. No problems from free radicals. I doubt that he knew how to
spell free radicals.
Yes, I agree they may be a problem today, but more so for an unhealthy body
with compromised body chemistry than for a healthy one.
Here is an interesting link.
