In 1998, the royal Swedish Nobel Prize committee awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine to three American scientists working on free radicals, rob ferguson, ferri morad, and loignaro, for their work in uncovering the mysteries of human disease and aging, and for their significant contribution to human health.
The three scientists found that free radicals are the cause of all diseases and are the cause of aging. Free radicals are responsible for disease and aging, and cause changes in the structure and nature of various molecules in the body's cells.
