How Antioxidant helps in disease prevention incuding cancer

Antioxidant is the enemy of free radicals.

It forms a protection layer to prevent cells from being damaged. These are the compounds that can inhibit oxidative stress.

Wholesome plant definitely contains antioxidant, since antioxidant gives the fruits/vege colours and aroma. That's why we need variety of colours and types.

Without antioxidant, the protection layer is removed, and bare cells are easily being mutated/damaged. Look at picture above.

However, please be aware that lots of people are taking antioxidant from pills, e.g. vitamin/multi vitamins. When antioxidant is prepared chemically, or extracted from a wholesome food, it doesn't work the same anymore.

Further, do check out following on where does vitamins come form, and what's the side effects of taking vitamin supplements.
