Antioxidants vs. COPD

When a person develops COPD, their inflammatory cytokine levels rise. Oxidants have long been recognized to play a vital role in the development of this disease. This is exacerbated by air pollution and cigarette smoke, which generate plenty of free radicals that can modify the structure of the respiratory tract and enhance mechanisms that sustain the lung inflammation characterized in COPD. To counter this oxidative stress inflicted ...

While it is true that smoking cigarettes is a primary risk factor for COPD, not all smokers actually develop the disease, and some COPD patients have not smoked a day in their life.

The following are potential risk factors that can trigger the development of ...

Milk thistle can protect you from COPD caused by secondhand smoke

January 04, 2019 -

The leading cause of COPD is the inhalation of tobacco smoke. It doesn't matter if you are not a smoker. Taking accidental whiffs of smoke from someone else's cigarette is just as bad as directly smoking yourself.

Ammonia, butane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide are just some of the toxic chemicals found in secondhand smoke. Joining them are the poisonous heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, and lead.

This air pollution is not just responsible for lung ...
