SWEET MEDICINE Building Better Drugs From Sugars
Sugars modify many proteins and fats on cell surfaces and participate in such biological processes as immunity and cell-to-cell communication. They also play a part in a range of diseases, from viral infections to cancer.
Recognizing the importance of sugars in health and disease, increasing numbers of researchers in academia and the biotechnology industry have recently stepped up efforts to learn the details of their structures and activities and to translate those findings into new therapeutic agents. Scientists are finally overcoming the obstacles impeding efforts to decipher the structures of complex sugars, and to synthesize sugars for use in research and as drugs. Advances are leading to new medicines for a variety of ills.
The Physician's Desk Reference (PDR), is used by 99% of all doctors and healthcare professionals before recommending solutions to their patients. Glyconutrients are listed for compromised immune systems.
Harpers Biochemistry, This is a medical textbook that has been educating healthcare professionals about Glyconutrients and their role in health and healing since 1996. In the 56th chapter of the 1996 edition of this highly acclaimed medical textbook, medical professionals learn that glyconutrients are absolutly essential for optimal cellular communication. This chapter also establisheds the fact that 6 of the 8 neccessary glyconutrients have all but disappeared from our food chain, causing the body to have to manufacture the needed 6 missing nutrients from the two present. This is very hard on the body, as it is meant to be a backup system.
Science Magazine, the premier journal for researchers and scientists recently dedicated their entire March 23, 2001 issue to educating the science and medical community about Glyconutrients, Glycobiology and Glycoscience. This is a 200 page publication of Stanford university for the American Association for the Advancement of Science!

Glycosylation is the most common form of protein and lipid modification but its biological significance has long been underestimated. The last decade, however, has witnessed the rapid emergence of the concept of the sugar code of biological information: indeed, monosaccharides represent an alphabet of biological information similar to amino acids and nucleic acids but with unsurpassed coding capacity.

Changing Cancer Cells "Surface Sugars" can Inhibit Tumor Growth
Jan. 22, 2002.
The key to halting cancer cells may lie in their sugary coats, scientists say. Carbohydrate molecules surround all cells and help them to identify and interact with one another. Now new research, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, indicates that altering some of the surface sugars associated with cancer cells can control tumor growth. The findings suggest that the sugars could one day serve as targets for new anti-cancer therapies.
