High energy radiation kills by generating free radicals in
living organisms. In our bodies, thee most important sources of
free radicals which cause aging damage include the abnormal
oxidation and breakdown of fats in your body, the breakdown of
hydrogen peroxide produced in your body, and free radicals which
escape form normal metabolism. Free radicals can be generated
from our external atmosphere from radiation, combustion products
from cars and lorries, smoking, and alcohol. They are everywhere.

Uncontrolled, these free radicals can damage proteins, fats, and
nucleic acids (DNA and RNA, the master and working copies of
your genetic blueprints) in your body.
