Why you think that there are may be in the fact that you beleive glycomics to be the same as glyconutrients... it is NOT the same thing, and glycobiologists took the time to make this clear in the freely available article that I linked in one of my previous post... keep taking them if you think that they are helping you, but anecdoctal evidence is only that... anecdoctal...

The testimonies are only a small portion of the "evidence." There IS third party testing, peer reviews, as well as articles in distinguished periodicals. I admit to taking the products, but other than that I have no "dog in this fight." Read the entire string.

Scientific evidence is something that can be debated... testimonies can be fabricated... which one do you prefer?

But because you claim to have seen people being cured of cancer by taking glyconutrient, than you have "knowledge"? Your argument is laughable!! can you show us one peer reviewed study, only one, that shows the benefits of glycunutrient? pubmed search "chemotherapy" = 1985246 articles pubmed search "glyconutrient" = 5 articles... (one of which is in glycobiology, a peer reviewed article, who call glyconutrient a "scham") good luck with the sugar rush! Luc Andrew… have you ever heard of this thing called “science”?

I am providing the link here: http://glycob.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/18/9/652 It is interesting that although it is true that Glycomics has been pointed out as a science that will change the world, glycobiologists beleive glyconutrient to be a scham... maybe you could provide better credentials?

(and landed on the sugar wagon) I was doing so well with health issues and weight loss that I thought an occasional cola or candy bar wouldn't hurt.... well occasional became not so occasional... the sugar cravings are back! Anyway, when I saw my nutritionist the last time, she knew (before she saw the scale reading) that my eating habits had changed... she said my face was blotchy and red and I didn't "look" healthy (I also gained about ten pounds) I also started having intermittent vision problems again and my pain levels have increased... when I originally started eating PB, my nutritionist did not back me... she claimed it was unhealthy to eliminate entire food groups - grains - and told me to replace sugar with splenda... as a VA practitioner she has to tow the CW party line and advocate for the food pyramid... HOWEVER, once she saw the results of PB - weight loss (55 lbs in 8 mo on PB vs. 20 lbs in 5 years on CW), significantly improved lab tests, elimination of prescription meds, improved circulation and complexion, reduced pain, etc... she asked me for details on the lifestyle I was following and told me to keep it up! Bottom Line for me... sugar in any form OR amount is addictive and not well tolerated... (when it comes to sugar I can't apply the "80/20" rule... that "rule" is just permission to cheat and pretty soon 80/20 is 20/80...) I'm finding it harder this time to get rid of the colas... the entire concept of supplementing with “glyconutrients” is bogus... if I have a little, I'm going to want alot... and all I want right now is healthy...

Of course, it's understood that the pharmaceutical companies are making drugs for posterity sake. With all of the testimonies and scientific research, it is disingenuine and absurd to say that glyconutrients are ineffectual and have no place in our diet and overall wellness. Period.

Some people just refuse to accept knowledge at any cost. Some people just never get it. I have personally witnessed people recover from stage 4 cancer by taking Glyconutrients (and they don't have to come from an MLM company either). But you just keep focusing on those who are trying to make a buck. And maybe those people are just trying to make a buck... But for Pete's sake, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! I don't see chemotherapy doing much for the world except killing people... But that's okay because it's accepted as 'standard practice'. Are you kidding me? Why don't they just poor battery acid into your veins, it may work even better than chemo. What a friggin joke! It sounds to me like you have more of a problem with MLM than you do with Glyconutrients... Were you one of those people who tried it and got burnt? And now your on a mission to keep everyone down at your level of failure? (misery loves company I guess). You sound like the perfect victim... It's always something or someone else that's the problem. Try looking in the mirror to find the real problem. That would be a good start. “Cast not your pearls before swine.” is what the good book says… Some people just refuse to accept knowledge at any cost. Some people just never get it.
