Glyconutritionals | The Miracle Sugar

27 03 2008

Glyconutrients have been called the miracle sugars. Rita Elkins writes in Miracle Sugars: “We’ve discovered that by supplementing our diets, on a daily basis, with a variety of glyconutrients, or very specific sugar molecules, the nutritional deficiencies and chemical imbalances that are causing our global epidemic of degenerative diseases can be corrected.”

Healing Sugars Give Us A Better Quality of Life

Glyconutrients are plant carbohydrates (monosaccharides). There are over 200 carbohydrates or sugars but only 8 are essential to bodily function. Studies of typical American diet indicate that on average we are only getting two of the eight essential glyconutrients.

Where Are These Sugars Found?

“The missing link” as some health officials would call these eight essential saccarides is found in many different plants and fruits. Unfortunately their sources are not as saturated with these vital glyconutrients as they once were. Due to green harvest, soil depletions, and our utilization of processed foods, our bodies are not receiving these glyconutrients in the amounts that we need to maintain optimal health. Research is beginning to create the like between the epidemic of the breakdown of the bodies systems resulting in the illnesses that are so common today and the profound lack of glyconutrients in our daily diets.
