WHAT THE HECK ARE AMINO SUGARS-NEU5GC & WHY SHOULD I CARE??
What the Heck are Amino Sugars?
Amino Sugars’ specific scientific name is Neu5Gc, a naturally occurring sialic acid that is found on the cells ALL mammals (meat) EXCEPT humans. It has a special complex molecular structure that plays a crucial role in biological interaction everywhere it goes.
Why Should I Care about Amino Sugars?
When we consume any meat, Amino Sugars are easily absorbed into our blood system swiftly traveling throughout our body attaching onto cells. Our auto-immune system identifies them as “stranger danger” sending antibodies to attempt containment, which flood though our circulatory system causing INFLAMMATION while contributing to Cardio Vascular, Autoimmune, Cancer & other chronic diseases.
How can I Avoid the Amino Sugars in all Meats?
We cannot cut it, age it, or cook it away; but we can REDUCE the Amino Sugars in meats with “good for you” beneficial probiotics before meat becomes our dinner. The result is delicious Clean Protein that you love without the “bad for you” Amino Sugars that contribute to inflammation and chronic diseases.
How do Amino Sugars Induce Inflammation?
When we consume meat products, Amino Sugars are absorbed into the body, about 6 million molecules per ounce of meat, then metabolically incorporated into the glycocalyx of the blood vessels traveling through our body cleaving on cells, joints and even on the blood brain barrier. The body’s immune system recognizes the incorporate molecules as a foreign antigen prompting the production of specific anti-Neu5Gc Amino Sugar antibodies. This interaction between these circulating antibodies and the Amino Sugar molecules on the human cells triggers chronic inflammatory response called xenosialitis.
What are the effect of Neu5Gc Inflammation?
Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Diseases: This chronic inflammation have been linked to higher blood pressure by damaging the lining of blood vessels, increasing arterial stiffness, and vascular remodeling all caused by immune cell activation resulting in the progression of cardiovascular diseases.
Cancer: Research has found an association between Amino Sugar induced inflammation and an increased risk of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer.
OVERALL TAKEAWAY
Less Amino Sugars from meat means less related inflammation, better blood flow with more nutrients and oxygen to your body and brain.
