| Deletion of 11 N-terminal residues allows the enzyme to add sugars to not only the 3' and 6 positions observed for the native plant protein, but also to the 5 position (Figure 3.6). However, it also reduces the overall catalytic efficiency of the enzyme, apparently affecting turnover rate rather than substrate binding affinity. Efforts are underway to solve the crystal structure of this enzyme in order to understand these observations at a molecular level. |

 The amount and structure of the fiber in that corn, for example, will determine such things as the speed at which the sugars in it will be released and absorbed, something we've learned is critical to insulin metabolism. The chemist will tell you the starch in corn is on its way to becoming glucose in the blood, but that reductive understanding overlooks the complex and variable process by which that happens. Contrary to the nutrition label, not all carbohydrates are created equal. |

 In Allopathia, obesity isn't caused by eating too much, avoiding exercise and consuming lots of processed sugars; it's actually caused by a virus! You read that right: It's a tiny packet of DNA that invades the bodies of Allopathia citizens and magically causes them to gain weight, completely beyond their control. The presence of this virus is a fascinating difference between our two universes, but it helps explain why the rate of obesity among the adult population in Allopathia now exceeds 35%. |

 So when we're talking about maca, what "gelatinized" means is that some of the complex sugars have been converted to glucose or more simple sugars so that it's more readily available for the body. There's a lot of talk about it right now. People are saying that it's stronger, but I think it's just more readily available biologically. It doesn't really differentiate it so much.
Mike: Do you have a good website to recommend if people want to find out more about maca?
Rumery: Sure, there's macaroot.com.
Mike: Really? How does the powder taste?
Rumery: It tastes delicious. |

 They know how to refine sugars to give them a real kick, so you get not only a taste kick, but you actually get a blood sugar kick and a brain chemical kick from the consumption of these sugars. They know how to manufacture foods to tune into your senses and make them not just tasteful but addictive.
Did you know Kraft Foods -- which is owned by Phillip Morris, a cigarette company -- employs, I believe, nearly 10,000 food scientists? |

 Cleansing with fruit is a process high in fiber, water content, plant-based medicines and natural, slow-releasing sugars. The nutrients in fruit can help dissolve toxins and give the body energy. They also help detox the liver from the usual poisoning of dairy products, red meat and chemical food additives found in everyday American foods.
The three-day plan consists of an initial day of "pre-flushing" and two days of "fruit-flushing." A specific amount of fresh fruit is eaten every two hours to maximize the detox process while keeping blood sugar levels stable, avoiding hunger. |

 It is composed of sugars, is srored in the liver and muscles, and is released into the bloodstream as needed, hemoglobin A (Hb Au): The component of red blood cells that transports oxygen to the cells and sometimes binds (glycates) with glucose. The more excess glucose you have in your blood, the more hemoglobin gets glycated. A Hb Ak test measures the percentage of A in the blood. Because glucose stays attached to hemoglobin for the life of the cell (about 120 days), the Hb A test gives you the average of your blood glucose level for that time period. |

 Oatmeal is essentially good for you, although instant oats and all the sugars found in many oatmeal products make it a rather high-glycemic food that's not recommended for most people (especially diabetics or obese people).
Put it all together and you have a collection of some of the least healthy foods and beverages on the market today. When future historians examine today's epidemics of obesity and diabetes, they will no doubt scrutinize the role of companies like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, both of which are partly to blame for modern disease epidemics. |

 Halloween, my dear friends, is the big kick-off of a season of massive caloric intake where we gulp our way through Thanksgiving, Christmas and Near Year's, treated by an endless buffet of sugars, chemical additives, processed food and saturated fats. If processed food made people smart, America would be the land of sheer genius.
But, alas, it seems to have the opposite effect. |

 Protein content is diminished, fats are molecularly altered and sugars are broken down into less healthy forms. All this seems to be of no concern to the ABC, which remains convinced that cooked, dead almonds are virtually identical to raw almonds in taste, texture and nutrition.
Many almond growers, not surprisingly, are hopping mad at the ABC for this "pasteurization tyranny" that will now require almond growers to kill a perfectly good product before they can sell it to consumers. |

 Then he found that within the first generation in places where the Western diet had moved in with jams and sugars and powdered milks and whatever, they started seeing all kinds of diseases happening. Many cavities. Dental arches falling. Dental arches changing. They even found that the hips of women were getting narrower so they could not have children as easily.
Mike: They found aggressive mental disorders, too.
Dr. Liers: Oh yes, the mental disorders and tuberculosis, you can see from that perspective it can happen amazingly fast. |

 Not only are the foods often fried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they're also laced with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars, petrochemical food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Strangely, many parents actually reward their children for good behavior by buying them unhealthy fast food meals, thereby creating a psychological association between good feelings and junk food. |

Stabilizing aloe vera gel
The aloe vera product I'm recommending here uses a low-temperature drying technique. Most aloe vera on the market is dried at much higher temperatures. In fact, click here to read an interesting patent on stabilizing aloe vera gel using high-temperature drying that goes up to 80 degrees Celcius. The patent makes for interesting reading if you're curious how aloe vera gel is typically harvested and packaged. |

 Watch out for use of the following:
High fructose corn syrup (a refined sweetener linked to diabetes and obesity)
Sugar (refined table sugar)
Sucrose (also a refined sugar)
Sodium benzoate (a dangerous chemical preservative)
Apple juice (a filler juice and natural sweetener)
Grape juice (also used as a filler juice, better than sugars but still cheaper than superfruit juices
#7: How do I shop for a superfruit juice product?
Here's some quick advice:
Top choice: 100% pure superfruit juice, made from fresh fruits (not from concentrate), packaged in glass. |
| That's more than two servings of a sweetened breakfast cereal. It's a lot of sugar to deal with. And if you're diabetic or hypoglycemic, you should never drink these juices on an empty stomach. When you eat real pomegranate seeds, you see, the natural seed fibers slow the absorption of the pomegranate sugars. So the glycemic index of pomegranate seeds is far lower than the glycemic index of pomegranate juice. Keep this in mind when planning your consumption of this juice. |

 It has none of the usual junk found in multi-vitamins for kids (no artificial colors, no sugars, no chemical sweeteners, etc.), but it's loaded with plant extracts and even tastes great thanks to the xylitol and stevia in the formula. See the ingredients yourself at: http://www.integratedhealth.com/hpdspec/kids.htm
Here's the catch: This formula was made with such high-end ingredients that most parents thought it was too expensive at $24.95 / bottle. |

 In the case of flavonoid O-glycosyl-glycosides, the rearrangement of sugars may take place during the fragmentation process, and the sequence of sugar losses does not correspond to the sequence of the sugar moieties in the intact molecule (Cuyckens et al, 2001, 2002). This situation was observed for the first time in flavonoid rutinosides a(l-6) and neohesperidosides a(l-2), in which rhamnose occurs on the nonreducing end of the diglucoside moiety and glucose is bound to the aglycone (Ma et al, 2001). |

 While you're at it, avoid white bread and refined grains, too, because they're very similar to sugars in the way they impact the nervous system.
Aspartame: This artificial chemical sweetener greatly impairs healthy nervous system function. This is partly because aspartame can chemically break down into trace amounts of formaldehyde, and formaldehyde is an extremely toxic nerve poison. Drinking aspartame is sort of like poisoning your brain with chemical preservatives. That's great if you're trying to embalm yourself, but not so good if you actually plan to use your brain for anything useful. |

 Four months after his visit for the physical, Matt came into my office and informed me that his blood sugars were normal and that he wasn't taking any insulin. Knowing his history, I really didn't believe him. So I checked his fasting blood sugar. The result was 84. I then challenged him with a sugar load and checked his blood sugar two hours later. It was 88—within normal limits. His hemoglobin AlC was 5.4, which also was normal. Matt was no longer diabetic. |

Foods with refined sugars confer a three-times increased risk for colon cancer. [Nutrition & Cancer 21: 233-46, 1994]
It has long been known that blood clots are common among cancer patients. Researchers now suggest patients admitted to the hospital for blood clots in their legs be screened as they exhibit a three times greater risk for colon cancer. [Cancer 106: 923-30, 2006]
Chronic constipation may increase the risk for colon cancer. |
| Can cancer patients eat refined sugars without regard that this may cause tumors to grow faster? Dr. John T. Ely of the University of Washington decided to test whether sugar abets tumor growth. Dr. Ely found that patients in remission from tumors have lower blood sugar levels. [Integrative Cancer Therapy 4: 25-31, 2005]
Dr. Ely and colleagues went on to conduct an animal test. Mice were placed on three different diets designed to produce different blood sugar levels and then injected with highly aggressive breast tumor cells. |
| In an animal study, rats fed low-thiamine diets with simple sugars developed pre-cancerous abnormalities in their colon. A thiamine-fortified diet significantly reduced this occurrence. [Cancer Letters 202: 125-29, 2003]
Then again, there is a report from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center which describes the direct injection of thiamine into human cancers and masses with complete cures. Two cases of mandibular cysts and 13 out of 15 Baker's cysts behind the knee cap were cured without recurrence for several decades. |

Increase cellular energy naturally
Cancer cells do not rely upon utilization of oxygen for cellular energy, but rather produce energy by fermentation of sugars within tumor cells. Various strategies are being developed to increase cellular energy by burning oxygen in cancer cells. |
| In reality, cancer cells lose energy and revert to fermentation of sugars for cellular energy, which produces acidic waste product (lactic acid). The idea is to re-supply cancer cells with oxygen to cause tumors to shrink. Actually, this treatment would be more appropriate to treat infection, not cancer. Germanium, an herbal product is used in oxygen therapies since it is purported to be an "oxygenator."
It is interesting to read the critical comments by the cancer establishment regarding oxygen therapies. |
