Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Glycotoxins, also known as " Advanced Glycoxidation End-products " accumulate in joints and cause arthritis;[1] they accumulate in the brain contributing to Alzheimer's disease,[2] and they accumulate in arteries causing high blood pressure[3] and atherosclerosis.[4] They build up in the eye and cause cataracts,[5] build up in the kidneys, contributing to kidney failure,[6] and build up in the penis causing male erectile dysfunction.[7] In fact there's a whole theory (the Maillard Theory) that blames nearly all the complications of aging on the buildup of these toxic compounds.[8] _________________________________________________________ Unfortunately the drug companies can't come up with a remedy for this problem without pinpointing one of its major sources -- fried/broiled oils/fats. This would then include all cooked meat and dairy products -- which is a no, no. (From Greger's newsletter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
