A few years ago, while considering how glyconutrient jam, a
natural alternative to processed glyconutrients, must taste, I
came up with this cute idea for more palatable fare using a
pudding example. I’d add ascorbic acid at least, for tartness
that’s good for you.

Five essential sugars in the aloe, two in the whey, one, glucose
in the inulin, psyllium for thickening and bulking, and vitamin
C, provides all eight essential glyconutrient sugars, improves
your bowel flora, and markedly increases your antioxidant pool
with both glutathione and C. Flavour varies with a cold-processed
whey isolate or concentrate drink, which provides the glutathione
precursor and protein source. The pudding will make a lot of
people well, improve fecal transit time and help to normalize
fecal bulk due to the psyllium powder.

Inflammation, blood coagulation and fibrosis can be reduced with
certain bacterial enzymes fairly quickly. According to a blood
expert, plaque slowly disolves too.

This should be of interest to a majority of adults in the general
population and 100% of diabetics. People who realise how
inflammatory their condition is or who are concerned about
peripheral arterial disease, thrombosis, stroke or heart attack
risk, angina, cardiovascular surgery, and probably a few other
conditions should .

Because it mops up excess coagulation as it occurs an enzyme
program can remove the need for warfarin, which has a small
therapeutic range for treatment of coagulopathy and it promotes
bleeding, unlike the enzymes.

Postmenopausal women with breast cancer may have an increased
risk of cancer recurrence if they also have the metabolic
syndrome, say Italian researchers.

The metabolic syndrome is term that refers to a clustering of
conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high
cholesterol and blood fat levels, which are known to increase the
risk of heart disease. The syndrome is particularly common among
people who are overweight or obese.

Writing in the International Journal of Cancer, Dr Patrizia
Pasanisi, from the Instituto Nazionale Tumori in Milan, and
colleagues explain that several studies have indicated that
hormonal, metabolic and inflammatory factors may influence the
risk of breast cancer progression.

Irene, our discussion has taken longer than if you had bought
the book, read it and then compared notes
I’ll just comment on the gist of your post:

Here’s the connection to the immune system given by the book
Inflammation Nation: Fatty acid imbalance (excess omega-6)
increases leukotrienes thus arachidonic acid and inflammation,
and this increases the body’s responsiveness to potential
allergens or to itself. Hyperresponsiveness, which involves the
immune system’s white blood cells flooding to the areas, itself
generates damage, and further activity by the immune system is
required as it cleans up. Hyperresponsiveness self-propagates
because the inflammation keeps pushing it. In this way the EFAs
that promote inflammation as well as the relative lack of EFAs

Here are a few quick references of importance to diabetics because
inflammation and consequently heart and autoimmune disease risk is so
increased.

You can reduce that risk with EPA and DHA or wild fish oil, which
works by replacing the omega-6 oils in your cell walls. Limiting
excess omega-6 consumption is also justified to further reduce
inflammation.

I figured the first summary is good enough to leave in in its
entirety.

No, Irene; nuts have always contained inflammatory oils, and
whether the nut or the nut butter is fresh or not has nothing to
do with this inflammatory factor.

Floyd Chilton’s book Inflammation Nation quantifies the
inflammatory nature of many foods, especially those containing
oils, with a calculated numeric inflammatory index. Chilton
doesn’t discuss the antioxidant potential, or conversely,
rancidity and oxidation, of natural foods because it’s entirely
unrelated to the direct inflammatory messengers contributed by
dietary oils.

You can add oils to the worksheet if you know the exact component
fatty acids and see what its index is. If anyone does that, I’d
appreciate a copy please; you’d be surprised at how high hemp oil
