Their story began in the 1940s when a physician-chemist named Denham Harman set out to determine the biochemical explanation for aging. As a young man, he had worked in the lubricating department of Shell—a place where the problems of a chemical spoilage caused by “free radicals” were well-known.

Better yet, he said, their effects could be ameliorated by something called antioxidants.Their story began in the 1940s when a physician-chemist named Denham Harman set out to determine the biochemical explanation for aging.
