Free radicals are the chemical results of body processes such as breathing and digestion. These charged compounds roam the arteries looking to bond with oppositely charged particles and through the process of oxidation may combine with LDL (low-density lipoprotein) particles.

When oxidized LDL particles become more toxic and more easily penetrate the inner surface (endothelium) of the arterial system depositing cholesterol there. Grape and apple juices are filled with natural antioxidants which neutralize free radicals.
