It is no mystery that nutrients are essential to life. What has been a mystery, though, is the
possibility of obtaining all the nutrients we need from our foods. The decrease of nutrients
in our foods has been proven. For scientific data, please read this article . Denying that
our food is less nutritious than it was in the 1950's is like denying space travel is possible.
Most of us understand that we need to take vitamins, minerals and other required
nutrients. We notice that one of the first things a woman does when she finds out she's
pregnant is to take prenatal vitamins, because she wants her baby to have a healthy start
in life. That healthy start, however, fades if the body does not continue to receive the
nutrients it needs. Supplementing your diet with necessary nutrients that your body can
absorb can mean the difference between a high quality of life and a life plagued with illness
or disorders.
Although you are aware that vitamins, minerals, amino acids (protein), and fatty acids are
essential for normal biological function, you may not be aware of the important role a group
of 8 simple sugars, called glyconutrients, play in every cell in our bodies. In 1996 these
eight sugars were identified in human cell surface glycoforms that are involved in cellular
recognition processes. We now know that nature uses the carbohydrates (sugars) on cell
surface glycoconjugates as communication/recognition molecules. We now know that
carbohydrate molecules provide the most specific form of biological information for the code
of life.
The more we learn about glyconutrients, the more we realize that we need a steady supply
of them in our diets every day, because:
Glyconutrients may be the missing link between what we eat and what
our bodies need for optimal health!
"Recent scientific research has shown that eight simple dietary sugars (monosaccharides),
most of which are no longer found in abundance in the standard modern diet, are now
known to form the very words of life at the cellular level. These sugars combine with
proteins and fats to create glycoforms that coat the surface of virtually every cell in the
body. Glycoforms function as cellular recognition molecules that communicate the
messages a body needs to function in health." quoted from The Nutrition Science Site,

The eight known sugars essential for properly-structured and functioning cells are:
Unfortunately, only 2 of these are readily found in our diets, leaving the other 6 in a
perpetual state of deficiency.
