0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.
0:07.7	Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.
0:13.3	So, today let's talk about the master antioxidant, glutathione, now what is an antioxidant?
0:29.9	To understand that, you have to understand what a free radical is, you take an atom with paired electrons.
0:37.9	If one of those electrons is missing, it's called an unpaired electron making it unstable, so that's called a free radical.
0:48.9	It's not very balanced and it can create a lot of destruction throughout the cells, the cell machinery, the DNA, etc.
0:58.9	So, an antioxidant comes along and donates an electron to balance it out and stabilize it.
1:05.9	The problem is that antioxidant now loses its electron and it becomes unstable, so it has to get an electron from another antioxidant.
1:15.9	So, this is why you have antioxidants in networks.
1:19.9	And this is why you should never take a synthetic antioxidant because they've been known to cause cancer.
1:24.9	Why? Because synthetic antioxidants don't come in networks.
1:29.9	They come as an individual synthetic antioxidant, so once they donate their electron, they become the problem.
1:37.9	They become the free radical and that can create all sorts of damage.
1:41.9	Glutathione has been majorly studied.
1:44.9	There's over 100,000 peer review papers in scientific journals on this one compound glutathione.
1:53.9	It's the most abundant antioxidant in the liver, but all your cells make it.
1:59.9	And so, it reduces oxidative stress.
2:02.9	So, if we're going to start balancing out these free radicals, we're going to reduce the amount of oxidation and stress to the body.
2:10.9	Your body also makes free radicals for various things, killing microbes, breaking down certain things in chemical reactions, and even makes hydrogen peroxide.
2:19.9	Glutathione is there to help neutralize some of these toxins that your body actually makes for various things.
2:24.9	Also, glutathione helps maintain something called exogenous antioxidants.
2:30.9	Exogenous are those things that are outside the body.
