    Harpers Biochemistry 24th Edition
    ————————————————
    Harpers Biochemistry, a medical textbook that
    has been educating healthcare professionals
    about Glyconutrients and their role in health and healing since 1996.

    From a clinical perspective, one class of nutrients
    absolutely necessary for optimal cellular communication
    and which is essentially missing from our food supply is glyconutrients.

    These are necessary carbohydrates (monosaccharides) that
    according to the 1996 edition of Harper’s Biochemistry,
    only 2 or 3 of the necessary 8 are commonly found in our diet.
    These monosaccharides provide the necessary building blocks that
    enable the cells of our body to communicate effectively.

    Other disorders in which glycoproteins have been
    implicated include hepatitis B and C, Creutzfeldt-
    Jakob disease, and diarrheas due to a number of bacterial
    enterotoxins. It is hoped that basic studies of glycoproteins
    and other glycoconjugates (ie, the field of
    glycobiology) will lead to effective treatments for diseases
    in which these molecules are involved. Already, at
    least two disorders have been found to respond to oral
    supplements of sugars.

    Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry from
    McGraw-Hill, whose lead editor is a retired
    University of Toronto biochemistry professor,
    Robert Murray. Murray added a paragraph to
    the 2006 edition noting that although the
    body can make other monosaccharides from
    glucose, “there is evidence that the other sugars
    may be beneficial in some circumstances
    when added to the diet. This has led to the
    development of glyconutrient supplements,
