Glyconutrients Research Continues To Show Promise For Good Health
By Fred Fishburne

Glyconutrients are eight immune sugars the body uses for cell to cell communication. These sugars are not used by the body as a source of energy/fuel as are other carbohydrates. Without proper cell to cell communication, the immune system cannot determine which cells to attack or which cells to leave alone, which cells are healthy or which cells are unhealthy. When the immune system attacks healthy cells, it is called AutoImmune Disorders. When the immune system fails to attack unhealthy cells, sickness and disease sets in the body. As you read this, much research is being done on glyconutrients. Science has established that glyconutrients are not a diet option but a requirement for everyone, called by many “the missing link” to good health.

Alarming evidence shows that many common diseases are caused by a single dietary deficiency missing in our diets. Among the missing ingredients are antioxidants, phytonutrients and gloconutrients. Why? Most people already know the answer but do not know what to do about it. “The nutrients are no longer in the foods that we eat daily because of soil depletion and green harvesting.”

Take glyconutrients for an example, only two of the eight known glyconutrieints are found commonly in today’s foods. Science has shown that we need all eight of these living sugars to stay healthy.

To explain in a simple way why everyone needs glyconutrients, take for example a typewriter, what if all of the vowels were missing from the keyboard, it would be impossible to communicate a written message that makes sense. This is exactly what is happening in the body when even one of these essential glyconutrients is missing from the diet. The immune system does not get the message to destroy damaged cells or leave healthy cells alone. The immune system can defend the body if it has all of the nutrition needed and knows when and where to attack.

The eight essential immune sugars are: xylose, fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid)

Some other benefits in taking glyconutrients are: build resistance to disease, increase over all health and vitality, alleviate allergy symptoms, slow down the aging process, decrease inflammation, increase natural killer cells and macrophages and improve blood sugar disorders.

A final word about glyconutrients and stem cells. Stem cells are produced in bone marrow and travel through the body repairing damage tissues. Studies show that those taking glyconutrients for one week had an increase in stem cells by the trillions. Glyconutrients have the answer that stem cell researchers are still seeking. Maybe they should look at glyconutrients for their answers.
