Does trying to live healthy make sense considering an imminent bird flu outbreak?

I remember reading a book about the amazing health benefits of consuming antioxidants to eliminate free radicals in your system back in the late 80's. 30 years later, the scientific consensus still says the results are inconclusive. The consensus doesn't say that because of some bias toward junk food or against the eating of certain fruits & vegetables. It's because when studies are done properly, they eliminate all sorts of noise and sometimes the signal for conclusive evidence is really small or even absent. These have to be repeated with different populations to filter out any data that may contaminate the final conclusion.
