Summary
This study argues that H.pylori infection, by increasing the production of reactive oxygen
species, increases the utilization of dietary antioxidants(Vit E and Vit C) that serve in
quenching the free radicals, thus decreasing their serum levels and confounding their
protective effect against gastric cancer.
