They basically protect cells against the effects of free radicals which can damage cells. They come from environmental exposures and when body breaks down food. Kind of like "contamination" effect. It's usually synomynous that damage cells may lead to cancer, diseases, etc. Eat lots of nuts, meats, fruits and vegies!! (I knew in a general sense but looked it up just to give you more info ;) )

Think of them as your body's natural disinfectant.
