As those who own my book know, I doubt that it can be called "balanced". I discuss almost entirely the anti-aging effects of melatonin. There have been previous books on it, cited in the references at the end of the chapter on melatonin. As for WHY it has that activity, I doubt that we (collectively) know enough to say. Personally I'm skeptical of an explanation based on its antioxidant role, but I am only talking about hypotheses rather than facts. Someday we will know the facts. Best and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4482
