A disrupted oral microbiome can lead to cavities and gum disease. Disruption to your intestinal microbiome can cause intestinal permeability (aka a leaky gut). This can lead not only to chronic intestinal inflammation but systemic as well.
The gut microbiome can regulate your blood pressure. Gut bacteria produce certain chemicals that can normalize and or keep blood pressure normal. Therefore, a disrupted microbiome can also have a negative affect on your blood pressure. For more on dietary sodium.
● Fructose can only be broken down and used by your liver cells. The breakdown of fructose stimulates the overproduction of purines by the liver cells.
To dispose of excess purine molecules, liver cells will breaks down the purines to produce a waste product called uric acid (UA). Uric acid is then released into your bloodstream to be filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.
Uric acid is released by the liver into your blood in controlled amounts. The problem starts when that controlled amount gets out of control due to excess fructose consumption. Fructose starts a chain reaction in your liver that ends in the buildup of high levels of UA in your blood.
Now, low levels of UA in your blood isn’t a bad thing. Uric acid is a powerful antioxidant and a scavenger of free radicals in our body. Free radicals cause the body to prematurely age.
High levels of uric acid in the blood produce the formation of needle-shaped crystals called urate crystals. These crystals will deposit in your joints and cause inflammation.
Urate crystals can also deposit in your cornea, sclera and iris of your eyes. Astigmatism (an abnormally shaped cornea) is the cause of nearsightedness and farsightedness. Whether in or on your joints or eyes, urate crystal may form deposits (tophi) that can cause deformities and make you susceptible to disease.
The major sources of fructose in our daily diet are sugar-sweetened beverages, fruits, UPFs and QSR foods. Carbohydrates are metabolized into simple sugars (glucose, fructose and or galactose) and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Fructose is increasingly recognized as the raw material (energy source) needed by cancer cell to generate cellular energy, via glycolysis (breakdown of simple sugars). Cancer cells can convert glucose into fructose through intra- and extracellular polyol pathways.
Polyol – is a sugar alcohol, known to the average person as a sugar-free natural or artificial sweetener. Pathway – is the Life Science Industries (LSI) uninformative way of saying; glucose to fructose is a two-step process, with the go between being a polyol – nuff said!
After which, fructose enters the cancer cell and produces excessive metabolites through glycolysis. Metabolites are substances made and or used when cancer cells breakdown fructose for energy. The glycolysis of fructose is needed for cancer cell proliferation.
Fructose is an energy source that will not be allowed to enter your cells. Thus, it becomes an abundant and ever present source of energy for cancer cells.
That said, restraining yourself from eating fructose will serve to drastically suppress it as a source of energy for glycolysis in cancer cells. But sadly, not eliminate it.
And yet! that may be the deciding factor that tips the scale in your body’s favor and enables it to heal itself. You see, without an alternative source of energy (fructose), cancer cells which are massively outnumbered by your normal cells will now have to compete for glucose.
Glucose is recognized as the only source of energy needed by normal cell to generate cellular energy via glycolysis. Without an alternative source of energy, it’s likely a no-win situation for cancer cells.
Chances are they will eventually starve and die without fructose. Your immune system can recognize any remaining cancer cells as abnormal and kill them. For more on fructose.
● Silver has been widely used throughout recorded history – at least 6000 years. Silver is a proven and effective treatment against almost all microbial infections (bacteria and viruses). There are no menacing side effects – as with most prescription drugs today. For more on colloidal silver.
