Antioxidants - help and hinder cancer growth in lab: "These data also demonstrate that antioxidants promote the survival of cells that lack attachment to the ECM and raise the possibility that antioxidants may have dichotomous activities with respect to tumorigenesis—that is, suppressing tumorigenesis by preventing oxidative damage to DNA23, 24, and promoting tumorigenesis by allowing survival of cells that are metabolically impaired (for example, in altered matrix environments)."
