Glyconutrients: More than just sugar?
Glyconutrients are having a significant impact in human cell
research as scientists begin to uncover the wealth of functions
that is affected by sugar. However, as with all good news there
is a catch, the sugars that scientists are hailing as a medical
breakthrough are not the variety that most of us are used to, in
fact glyconutrients are not even sweet to taste.
At first, the word glyco meaning sweet and nutrients which we
are all familiar with, look like an unlikely pair and perhaps
even an oxymoron. Years of conditioning from health
professionals have lead people to be weary of sugar in all
forms, but scientific text books are being rewritten to
accommodate this new discovery. More detailed information about
specific diseases and how they react to glyconutrients is

Basically, scientists have become aware of the vital role that
eight essential sugars known as saccharides play in cell to cell
communication. Due to the fact that glyconutrients are used at
cell level, the potential for healing is enormous. In the
current Western diet, only two of the eight essential
glyconutrients are commonly present. Scientists believe that the
absence of these sugars can have a drastic impact upon the
health of people, and conversely the addition of these sugars is
equally beneficial. In tests conducted in leading institutes
around the world, glyconutrients have been shown to lower
cholesterol, increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat,
accelerate wound healing, ease allergy symptoms, and allay
autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetes.
Many scientists and doctors are extremely excited about the
potential for glyconutrients to make a significant contribution
into people's lives. The full capacity of this new health
resource may be tremendous and doctors are keen to explore the
full potential of glyconutients weather it be on a preventative
level or for treatment purposes. For more information from this
