A wide variety of natural agents have been reported to possess substantial preventive effects against free radicals mediated oxidative stress. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a dietary phenolic phytochemical derived from green tea (Camilla sinensis), has been shown to reduce fluoride mediated oxidative stress in rats.
