Iron and copper are normally bound to proteins in the body, which keeps them safe and functional. Hydrogen peroxide aggressively oxidizes tissue on contact. Iron and copper become dangerous free radical generators when unbound from proteins. High sugar levels cause oxidation specifically in arteries and tissues, contributing to vascular damage and systemic inflammation. Irradiation generates free radicals directly in exposed tissue.
