32. Free radicals do NOT cause varicose veins.

They are also not caused be excessive weight. They are caused by valve malfunctions in the veins that allow blood to pool instead of flow freely. They are hereditary. I had a paternal aunt who was very slim and weight conscious, and had varicose veins in her legs and hands. My mother had them, too.

Physical activity helps. So do compression stockings. Or, surgery, and preferably shots that dissolve them, letting the blood flow through healthier veins.

Supplements for varicose veins only benefit the people who manufacture and sell them, along with the ones who write about them in books and produce nonsense infomercials.
