Simple Carbohydrates are a major source of energy for the body and are found in many nutrient-dense foods (fruits, Sugar, Candy, Syrups, Juice Concentrate and Products with add Sugar). The optimal human diet should contain no more than 15% of Simple Sugars. According to American Heart Association (AHA) most men should consume no more than 150 discretionary calories of sugar per day.

Major Contributors to Dietary Simple Sugars Intake
– Soft Drinks consumption is responsible for 33% of the total content of added Simple Sugars (Fructose + Sucrose + Glucose) in the diets of the USA population.
– Sweetened Grains (primarily Breakfast Cereals) consumption is responsible for 19% of the total content of added Simple Sugars (Fructose + Sucrose + Glucose) in the diets of the USA population.
– Milk Products consumption is responsible for 9% of the total content of added Simple Sugars (Fructose + Sucrose + Glucose) in the diets of the USA population.
– Fruit Drinks consumption is responsible for 10% of the total content of added Simple Sugars (Fructose + Sucrose + Glucose) in the diets of the USA population.
– Sweets/Candy consumption is responsible for 17% of the total content of added Simple Sugars (Fructose + Sucrose + Glucose) in the diets of the USA population.

Toxic Effects of Excessive Consumption of Simple Sugars

– Increase production of endogenous Cholesterol
– Excessive Simple Sugars are converted to Triglycerides (and are then stored within the body as Fat)
– may lower production of HDL Cholesterol
– May increase the risk of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
– May cause Inflammation of Joints
– May cause Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
– May increase the risk of Parkinson’s Disease
– May cause depletion of Potassium

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble and an essential vitamin and use in every cell of the human body. Vegetarians are particularly prone to Vitamin B12 deficiency. The average healthy human adult has a total of 3,000 – 5,000 micrograms of Vitamin B12stored in their Liver. Approximately 39% of adults aged 26 to 83 years of age have plasma Vitamin B12 levels in the “low-normal” range.

Function of B12 in Human Body
– Cofactor in DNA synthesis
– Maturation of developing RED Blood Cell in the Bone Marrow
– Function of nervous system
– Myelin sheet synthesis
– Amino acid metabolism
– Fatty acid metabolism

– May help to prevent Migraine
– Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause Infertility
– Vitamin B12 deficiency may cause Menorrhagia

Substances may Enhance the Function of Vitamin B12
– Hydrochloric Acid is essential for the absorption of Vitamin B12
– Intrinsic Factor is essential for the absorption of Vitamin B12
