MannatechAbout Mannatech Mannatech is a research and development company based in Dallas, Texas. It produces ..... The 8 Essential Sugars that Heal
The New Class of Essential Nutrients is the 8 special monosaccharides sugars now referred to as the "Sugars That Heal".
History Of GlyconutrientsHistory of Glyconutrients: 1880s - Monosaccharides first identified. 1952 - Fresh Aloe gel heals ..... Science has recently made a remarkable discovery - A new class of missing nutrients called Glyconutrients.
When we consider sugar, we immediately remember what we were taught in high school biochemistry, that our bodies digest and burn sugars to produce energy. However, science has recently proven that eight specific biological sugars are not burned in this way, and instead become building blocks known as glycoproteins and glycolypids. Basically, this means that these eight sugars actually become part of our own bodies. Now, we know that these eight sugars combine together to form complex structures which exist on the surface of all of our cells and which are used for cellular communication.
Typically, only two of these eight sugars are in the foods we eat. The deficiencies of these sugars in our foods results from modern food processing and packaging practices, the growing of crops in mineral depleted soils, green harvesting of fruits and vegetables and the use of food preservatives. Of the eight sugars, we get Glucose (an example is table sugar) and Galactose (from dairy products) in our modern diets. Since we typically don't consume the other six, our bodies must create them through a sequence of enzymatic, chemical reactions. For example, to convert Glucose into Fucose, our bodies must produce over thirty-four different enzymatic reactions, generating intermediatery molecules in the process. These reactions can rob valuable energy from ......
