Product Description

Scientists have recently discovered that our modern diet is missing some very vital nutrients, and surprisingly enough, these missing nutrients are sugars. After years of research, author Rita Elkins has come to the conclusion that the lack of these invaluable sugars in our diet is a major reason for most of today's diseases, even cancer, diabetes, and auto-immune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Customer Reviews

Wellness technology which will change the world.....
In short, when you're ill, toxic, malnourished or under a great deal of stress or trauma, your body may fail to manufacture the tiny amounts of sugars (glyconutrients) that must be incorporated into the receptors. The cell receptor sites are made of glycoproteins -- glyconutrients and protein in varying combinations. These have specific functions. Cellular function absolutely relies on correctly formed cell receptors; in fact, 86 diseases have been linked to malformed receptors. For instance, lupus has been linked to a deficiency of mannose.

Elkins does a good job of presenting the information so that anyone can understand it. Basically, if you have cells, you need glyconutrients.

Pamphlet, very little value
This is the first "book" I have bothered getting about glyconutrients. It is a short pamphlet with about four pages of real information - the rest was filler, only good for those that are completely lacking any nutritional erudition. If you want this much information just do an internet search and you will find more for free.
