Re: [ Mannose and Ambrotose]

Go to the science webiste which has all the 3rd party research and

validation going on all around the world. ANd none of the things I have

been talking about are drugs, they are from food and are considered

neutracueticals which just means they are tested, pure food supplements

and manufactured under Good Manufacturing practices. Most companies that

offer supplements are not like this.

I don't take inulin as a supplement. I have read the information

that Duncan referred me and many other people here to. I have just

taken a quick look at the site you've referred to below and looked

at 2 of the very brief human observation studies. If I am to

understand the second one I read says that taking glyconutrient

supplementation helped 23% of the participants with either type of

diabetes to reduce meds. But the very next line says that 22% had to

increase their meds. So just from that little bit of information I'd

have to say I'm not convinced that it will reduce blood sugars. If

you do the math here that leaves what 55% where there was no change

or benefit. Perhaps diet is a factor here. Seems to me that there's

a lot of variables unaccounted for in those statements. I will read

more when I have the time. I'm sorry that we don't agree on this

one. I'm allowed to have an opinion here that contradicts what your

opinion is of what you've read. I'm glad that you feel good and same

goes with your husband. I would not wish illness on anyone and

perhaps this helped you but I don't think that we should be telling

a diabetic to take a supplement that may affect blood sugar levels

especially one who is already struggling with their sugar levels

(and I mean that whether your levels are too high or too low). I

live with a diabetic and he's very well under control of his levels

and is rarely high. I'm also not suggesting that a person absolutely

not take ambrotose. I would however suggest that if you are a

diabetic that any change in your drug therapy should be monitored

and discussed with your diabetic counsellor or health care provider.

As far as the candida issue goes I find you have misinterpreted the

advice given on this site regarding sugar intake. Of course you will

get sugar in your diet if you eat vegetables and fruit. If you have

ever read the candida diet it suggests avoiding fruits for at least

2-4 weeks as sugars found in most fruits are quiet readily

available. As for vegetables it is suggested to avoid mushrooms

since you brought them up as well as higher carbohydrate vegetables

such as corn and potatoes as these will raise your sugars. As far as

I know no one here has ever told anyone to not eat any vegetables.

Now it is not suggested that one would avoid all of these things

forever. It is suggested as a way to help your body not over feed

the candida. Mostly when it comes to sugar avoidance we're talking

about not eating buckets of ice cream and the like that people seem

to crave or the high carb snacks etc and alcohols etc.

I will read more of the studies from the web site you posted here

but as far as being educated I most certainly am. I am a CPA. Which

is why I would prefer to also see the other side of the coin on any

supplement not just the ones you suggest. I don't want this to

become a big ugly fight over this. I recommend reading the files of

the group and understand what is being suggested when we saying to

cut sugars out of your diet.

As for essential sugars such as glucose yes you need them and you

will get them from your diet. Your brain requires it to function and

should you by chance not eat enough your body will convert fat cells

to glucose.

Anyways, this is getting way too long and I'm quite certain that we

aren't going to agree on this topic. I'm not looking for this to

become a huge debate.
