Oligosaccharides Are Extremely Important When It Comes To Our Health!
Oligosaccharides and their field of study are creating extreme interest in the scientific community. When I was getting my doctorate in naturopathic medicine, we learned that the primary function of carbohydrates was to be broken down by the digestive process into glucose and used as fuel by the body. The electron microscope has proven that this is not entirely true! There are a group of eight carbohydrates whose function in the body is absolutely CRITICAL for the health of our cells. They are know as oligosaccharides. Scientific text books, which are used in the majority of the medical schools, have been rewritten to include this essential new area of nutrition and the role it plays in biochemistry. The electron microscope allowed us to look at the substances that coat the outside of every one of our trillions of cells in our bodies. We found eight carbohydrates that bound with either proteins or fats. These carbohydrates form the communication structures of our cells. They provide the mechanism necessary for the cells to indicate whether they are healthy or abnormal, need to be detoxified, nourished, protected from bacteria, virus, or fungi. In addition, enabling the cells to protect themselves from pathogens, and so much more! These important sugars, also called oligosacharides, have multiple branch chains that coat our healthy cells similar to how small branches and leaves coat a tree. One of the problems of our modern day diet is that we only get two of these essential sugars readily in the foods we eat, and that is only if we consume dairy products. Because of the way we process and green harvest our food before it is vine ripened, our diet is severely deficient in these super nutrients. The time-table of our agricultural practices and the increased incidence of health issues clearly indicates how important this group of carbohydrates called oligosaccharides, are to healthy cells. Healthy cells leads to healthy tissues, then healthy organs, then healthy systems, ultimately resulting and rebuilding healthy bodies! Making sure that these critical nutrients are available for our cells is of EXTREME importance! The logical answer is prioritize this class of nutrition into our supplement protocol. My professional opinion about this class of nutrients is they are of upmost importance to maintain and restore health. Your cells will thank you.
