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.

Allergies are an Immune System Ailment involving unusual sensitivity to the action of various Environmental Stimuli (Antigens) and foods. Allergies are also caused by Eosinophils (specialized Cells of the Immune System) when they release Hydrogen Peroxidase at the site of the Allergy in an attempt to destroy what they “believe” to be Antigens.

Substances that may Cause Allergies
– Excessive consumption ofAlcohol (ethanol) may increase the risk of Allergie
– Many types of Lectins may cause Allergies
– Gluten may cause allergies (Gliadin of Gluten may be responsible for (Food) Allergies)
– Undigested dietary Proteins may become Antigens (usually due to faulty Digestive Systems allowing dietary Proteins to overload the Digestive System)
– Casein may be responsible for (Food) Allergies
– May some people are allergic to exogenous Collagen – Collagen Replacement Therapy is therefore unsuitable for these persons
– Candida albicans proliferation may allow Allergens to enter the circulatory system, causing Allergies
– Elevated IgE levels (which are often inherited) have been implicated in Allergies
– Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may cause Food Allergies
– Tyramine from food like (Cheese, Beer, Wine, Chocolate, Salami, Brewer’s Yeast, Lentils, Bananas, Pineapple, Raisins)  may cause
Allergies (due to Tyramine stimulating the release of excessive amounts of Histamine from Mast Cells leading to Allergic reactions).
toxic Effects of Tyramine
– Causing the release of Histamine from Mast Cells which leads to the Allergic reaction
–  May increase Blood Pressure
–  May cause Lethargy
– May cause Headache
– May cause over-stimulation of the Adrenal Glands (which may result in depletion of the body’s Norepinephrine reserves)
– May cause Migraines
– May cause Mood swings
– May cause  Depression
– May cause Anxiety

Magnesium is an alkaline macrominral that functions as an electrolyte, a critical nutrient for heart and cardiovascular support. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, vital for producing ATP, the fuel for every cell in your body. Magnesium with Potassium is the principal intracellular cation, electrolyte, that conducts a positive electrical charge.
less than 2% of Americans have been experience magnesium deficiency, magnesium deficiency can range from dietary intake or loss through disease processes like diabetic, digestion issues (IBS, leaky gut syndrome, celiac disease, poor absorption, chronic diarrhea).
In one study suggested that up to 70% population are not meet their daily intake magnesium.
Magnesium may help to prevent Heart Attack and reduce the likelihood of death following a Heart Attack: 
Severe Arrhythmias may occur as a result of Magnesium deficiency – extreme Magnesium deficiency may result in lethal Arrhythmias and Tachycardia in heart disease patients.
Magnesium may prevent Atherosclerosis  functioning as a Calcium-Channel Blocker and thereby increasing the solubility of Calcium.
Magnesium Sulfate, Epsom Salts, is an excellant laxative for Constipation it reduces the normal absorption of Water from the Intestine, causing Bowel Movement.
Most Diabetes Mellitus patients are found to be deficient in Magnesium and Insulin Resistance may occur as a result of Magnesium deficiency , which can lead to Diabetic.
Magnesium may increase HDL and lower serum LDL level and inhibit the oxidation of LDL Cholesterol.
Magnesium is involved in the health of Bones 64% of the body”s Magnesium is concentrated in the Bone. 
Magnesium deficiency within Muscle cells is speculated to be a factor in the development of  Fibromyalgia. 26% of the body’s total Magnesium is stored in muscle and the role of Magnesium in the Muscles is to ensure that sufficient Oxygen is delivered to the muscle.  Magnesium is also required for muscle movement and for the transmission of Nerve Impulses to the Muscles.
Magnesium may improve the quality of  Sleep when consumed just prior to bed time.  

Magnesium may Interfere with these Substances

Excessive Magnesium may inhibit the release of Acetylcholine. 
 Excessive Magnesium may deplete Calcium as Magnesium competes with Calcium for absorption – the Magnesium:Calcium ratio should be 1:2 consumption of Magnesium above this ratio causes the excretion of Calcium.  

Supplemental Magnesium should not be used at the same time as Tetracyclines (as Magnesium may interfere with the absorption and effectiveness of Tetracyclines) Pharmaceutical Drug.
