The Malmö biomarker programme

Abstract. Evaluation of pro‐oxidant/antioxidant dietary factors in relation to individual susceptibility to cancer and cardiovascular disease is justified based on a review of the literature. This working hypothesis is amendable to further scientific validation from biomarkers with end‐point sensitivity to oxygen radicals. So far, the biomarker programme developed around this theme may be divided into three distinct classes:
