Nature and science tell us that.<br>
My contribution to this forum is not of how much, but rather of which kind of
carbs to consume:<br>
Of the about 200 monosaccharides, or glyconutrients(carbohydrates, or simple
sugars) found in nature, scientists have identified 8 as the components (shapes)
of letters that make up the cellular alphabet. Cells communicate by using these
8 known monosaccharides to shape letters and words. <a href="http://www.healthandlongevity.info/HarpersBiochemistry.pdf">Harper's
Biochemistry, 24th/25th edition, chapter 56</a> and
<p>These carbs, or glyconutrients are ESSENTIAL for cell to cell communication
and are involved in every aspect of living, incl. recognizing and eliminating
diseases, viruses, toxins/free radicals and yes, excess fat. Furthermore, these
nutrients are highly lacking in today's common diet.</p>
<p>The discovery of these &quot;sugars&quot; and their function is what has every major
medical research facility, the drug companies and most medical science
writers/editors on their toes these years. IT IS INCREDIBLY
EXITING!</p>
<p>You all owe it to yourselves to look very closely at the discovery of these
sugars, especially if you or a loved one suffers from a disease condition!</p>
<p>And no, we are NOT talking about the white granulated table sugar here!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Best of wishes of a healthy future for you all.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
