Diseases and Conditions Associated with Oxidative Stress

There are over 70 diseases and conditions associated with oxidative stress. The term ‘oxidative stress’ means there are more harmful free radicals than the body has antioxidants available to neutralize. Scientists measure the level of oxidative stress by measuring glutathione levels — the lower the  glutathione the higher the oxidative stress.
