In June of 1992, 17 international researchers in the field of free radical and antioxidant biology and preventive medicine met at the village of Saas Fee, Switzerland, and drew up the Saas Fee Declaration to recognize the importance of prevention in medicine and health. Since then, hundreds of researchers from around the world have signed the declaration:
Saas Fee Declaration
On the significance of antioxidants in preventive medicine.
1. The intensive research on free radicals of the past 15 years by scientists worldwide has led to the statement in 1992 that antioxidant nutrients may have major significance in the prevention of a number of diseases. These include cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, some forms of cancer and several other disorders, many of which may be age-related.
2. There is now general agreement that there is a need for further work at the fundamental scientific level, as well as in large-scale randomized trials and in clinical medicine, which can be expected to lead to more precise information being made available.
3. The major objective of this work is the prevention of disease. This may be achieved by use of antioxidants which are natural physiological

substances. The strategy should be to achieve optimal intakes of these antioxidant nutrients as part of preventive medicine.
4. It is quite clear that many environmental sources of free radicals exist, such as ozone, sunlight, and other forms of radiation, smog, dust, and other atmospheric pollutants. The optimal intake of antioxidants provides a preventive measure against these hazards.
5. There is a great need for improvement in public awareness of the potential preventive benefits of antioxidant nutrient intake. There is overwhelming evidence that the antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin E, vitamin C, carotenoids, alpha-lipoic acid and others are safe even at very high levels of intake.
6. Moreover, there is now substantial agreement that governmental agencies, health professionals and the media should promote information transfer to the general public, particularly when evidence exists that benefits for human health and public expenditure are overwhelming.
This declaration arose from the overwhelming evidence now available indicating that antioxidants play a critical role in wellness, health maintenance, and the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that are generated during normal metabolism and during exposure to environmental insult. Free radicals play a role in most major health problems of the industrialized world, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and disorders of aging.
