Guest guest Posted December 17, 1998 Report Share Posted December 17, 1998 Hi Nick, Sorry if I abbreviated this too much. Compounds have a 'direction' to them. They can be left hand (levero) or right hand (dextro). They are identical, but MIRROR IMAGE of one another. A few years back, they discovered a levero dextrose -- a left hand sugar. It tasted a bit sweet, but did not react in the body, and just passed through. They thought they had a breakthrough sweetener, with no calories to worry about, but in the end, abandoned it as too expensive. The body is set up to handle right hand (dextro) compounds. It can fully assimilate them. But left hand (levero) compounds are only absorbed a small amount. That is why its not a great idea to be taking amino acid supplements that are labelled " L- " on them, as for example, L-arginine. You need D-arginine, but it is very expensive to produce, because you can only synthesize " L- " products. The synthesized products come out as mirror image, or reverse spin. The body barely recognizes them. They are not what it wants to assimilate. They are not organic. Their sources are in petroleum byproducts for the most part. Just like antibiotics. Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 1998 Report Share Posted December 18, 1998 Dear , Actually, it just came to me. Bragg's Amino Acids (called Bragg's Gourmet Seasoning in Canada) is all D-aminos. It is made from soy, and tastes like soy sauce, but it is not fermented. It was developed by Bragg the " father of health food " at the turn of the century. We put it on rice instead of soyasauce, and it tastes the same, only not as salty. Best of Health! Saul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 <<Well, so far in our scientific (hoho) study it appears as if a larger proportion of our kids are left handed than the general population. I understand that runs about 10 or 15 percent, can't remember which. We seem to have more than that so far. bowled with Spec. Olympics one year and there were 6 individuals with DS in the g roup. I noticed that 3 of them bowled left handed, that's what got me to wondering about it. I guess it's anything to make it a little harder for them. Jessie>> Hi Jessie, For a long time I couldn't decide what hand I thought was dominent for Ted. I think for writing and eating it is mostly right unless I just assume this for him. In sport activities, playing catch and batting...he seems to use both equally well and equally as ofter.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Kaitlyn who is 7 is still trying to decide which hand with which to write. She tends to favor left. She is most definitely dominant in left eye, and left leg. and I are both right handed and and Grant are right handed also. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
