Pogeu, one antioxidant, L-Cystine, tested on some rats with induced prostrate cancer, does not provide convincing evidence that ALL antioxidant's are cancer inducing, or even cancer neutral. I generally tend to agree with a lot of what you present, but even you counter this particular presentation by touting the natural ingredients of vegetables, which you admit are rich in antioxidants, and urge everyone to eat more of.

Let us not let what has been a pretty good discussion of differing points of view degrade into a slug fest of one-off medical studies. Even according to you, it is not below the medical establishment to poo poo any practices or studies which might limit its demand for services or accepted treatment regimes. So if they are 'all' against D3, what makes it any different that 'they' are now against antioxidants?

The body is made to be washed in waves of various substances. It may not be healthy to drown one's self in an anti-oxidant bath every day, and a good wash in a fluid rich in oxidants is likely to be beneficial from time to time. But EC has you on the power side of reliable studies showing that anti-oxidants do far more good than they do harm, and that most of us would greatly benefit from a good dose of a broad spectrum of anti-oxidants regularly.

I will grant that your words of caution are not to be taken lightly by weight lifting mice with chemically induced prostate cancer. Perhaps a warning sign in all rodent gyms against the use of body building powders containing L-cystine is in the cards. (Something quite at the level of today's FDA)
