Research Reveals Protective Role of CO₂ in Cellular Health

Recent research from the University of Utah reveals a surprising role for carbon dioxide (CO₂) in protecting cells from oxidative stress, a key factor in diseases like cancer and neurological disorders. The study shows that bicarbonate from dissolved CO₂ alters the Fenton reaction, reducing harmful DNA damage. This groundbreaking discovery highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of CO₂ in cellular health, challenging its negative perception in climate discussions.
