There is a lot more work to be done on the subject of antioxidants and health benefits.
I am a bit sceptical about the use of substances to 'prevent' undiagnosed conditions, particularly when there is minimal evidence to support the efficacy of the substance in the first place.
My theory of "health" is based around the idea of applying your common sense to the matter of what you ingest and to what you think your body needs to be healthy.
As an example, I would think that a range of food groups, a minimum of poisons (alcohol, drugs, nicotine etc) and regular, substantial but mild exercise would be a pretty good starting point.
As a wine lover I could delude myself that I should be drinking a bottle of red every night - for it's antioxident and blood thinning value - but my common sense tells me that is probably nonsense.
