> Reactive Oxygen Species is also reportedly quite harmful but I guess everything has its place.
Yes, I think it does. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are generated as part of the metabolic pathway. That is in processes essential for life. Though the details of the biochemistry are beyond me, I recall Cytochrome c oxidase [1] produces H+ used to power ATP generation. Along the way it produces ROS. Of course there are other mechanisms for neutralizing the ROS. The point is ROS probably not something to get too agitated about.
