NewScientist Article: "Sugar supplement may treat immune disease"

NewScientist Magazine had a recent article on how a "sugar supplement may sweeten the overactive immune cells responsible for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes and stop them attacking the body's tissues."

Hmmm... this is a very novel approach. You think? Actually providing a direct source of necessary sugars available to cells in quicker and greater quantities. I mean really, this is an entirely different approach of supporting and sustaining health and wellness instead of fighting disease. But wait isn't there a company that has already thought of and developed this- say- over ten years ago?

"A large number of proteins in the body are modified by the attachment of sugar molecules to their surface through a process called glycosylation, and altered glycosylation has been implicated in some autoimmune diseases."

BTW, the article mentions info on a specific sugar found in the Glyconutritional blend product.

Get amazing info about this- check out the article here...

Glyconutritionals do not treat, cure or prevent diseases, and should not be taken in place of a doctors care or proven therapies. The body heals itself. It is up to you to put into it what it needs...
