In Addition, These Antioxidant Methods Will Assist Researchers In Tracking The Long-term Epidemiological Effects Of Such Compounds.The First International Congress On Antioxidant MethodsThe First International Congress On Antioxidant Methods Held On June 16-18 In Was Sponsored By The American Chemical Society. Over 144 Scientists And Experts Form The Industry, Academia, And Government Attended This International Congress, Discussing The Latest Claims For Antioxidant Methods. During The International Congress, There Was Widespread Agreement Among The Learned Attendees That Antioxidant Methods Must Be Standardized. However, There Was Unfortunately Disagreement On The Best Antioxidant Method To Determine The Benefits Of The Compounds.
