Free radicals are compounds naturally produced in the body. They contain one or more unpaired electrons, or electrical charges, and are therefore unstable. To achieve stability, free radicals borrow or steal electrons from stable compounds. This process allows formerly stable compounds to become reactive and cause the oxidation that may interfere with normal cell function and possibly mutate cells. Peroxides are among the free radicals that are byproducts formed when fat molecules react with oxygen.
