I'm tired of taking pills, supplements and special drinks.
Money goes a lot but the effect is small.
Are there effective external anti-oxidants?

Not exactly sure what you mean by external but sunlight is about as external as you can get and it functions as an antoixidant via vitamin D production.

Thank you for answer.
I represent the external antioxidant, as an alloy, a tree or something else.
It can be worn always with me and it acts consistently and effectively.

Are you selling something?

Have a look at this:

The Great Cholesterol Con

just a correction to this link: the correct author of the book, of the same title, which i had in mind, is Dr Malcolm Kendrick:

That is actually quite a good book and - believe it or not - it's a great read because the auther has a terrific sense of humor:

"Genetic predisposition is one of the most commonly used ‘explain-all’ ad-hoc hypotheses, and it is a particular bug-bear of mine. Someone I knew quite well had a heart attack recently, aged 36. He was very fit, almost to international level at cycling. He was also extremely thin. His resting pulse was 50 a minute, his blood pressure was 120/70 (bang on normal). His total cholesterol level was 3.0 mmol/l, which is very low [116 mg/dL, very low indeed]. He was vegetarian and a non-smoker. I know what you’re thinking: he deserved it. Steady, he’s a nice bloke, actually, if a bit worthy.

Now, you can go through all the risk factors tables produced by the American Heart Association, the European Society of Cardiology and the British Heart Foundation – and any other cardiology society you care to mention. According to the lot of them, he had no risk factors. Therefore, he should not have had a heart attack. However, it did emerge that his father had a heart attack aged 50. A-ha! He was genetically susceptible, then! Phew, there’s your answer. I beg to differ: if you think about this in any depth, it is a completely idiotic statement to make.

If someone is genetically susceptible to heart disease, that susceptibility must operate through some identifiable mechanism. Or does a big finger suddenly appear from the sky and go: ‘Pow! Heart attack time, bad luck.’ Genetically susceptible people don’t need high LDL levels or high blood pressure. They don’t need to smoke or eat a high-fat diet. They don’t need to be overweight or have diabetes – or anything, actually. They are felled by a mysterious genetic force, operating in a way that no one can detect.

Other people are killed by risk factors. But such factors count for nothing if you are genetically susceptible. I have one word to say to this – and it’s a word I’ve used before in a similar context. Balls."

That does read well. Someone send me a copy. Maybe we can institute a Meso Library. Send it to someone, they finish it, you send it to someone else.
