Did you know carbohydrates are part of the cell membrane of every living cell? Learn about how carbohydrates (glycans) work and the important role they play in how cells work! Glycans are one of the largest and most diverse molecules in nature and are key to almost all biological processes. There are many ways scientists can harness carbohydrates to improve human health. The Canadian Glycomics Network (GlycoNet) aims to use the study of carbohydrates to improve human health. Find more information at http://glyconet.ca.

In her talk about sugar and cancer, Stanford Chemistry Professor Carolyn Bertozzi tells us why the sugar coating on our cells is crucial to our health and well-being. Unlike the sugar coating on a peanut M&M, she explains, human cells are covered with complex sugars Bertozzi shows us are, “like foliage swaying in the breeze.” The language these sugars are speaking can tell us everything from what blood type we are to whether we have cancer. Carolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical & Systems Biology and Radiology (by courtesy) at Stanford, and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She completed her undergraduate degree at Harvard and her doctorate at UC Berkeley. After postdoctoral work at UCSF and a professorship at UC Berkeley, she joined the faculty at Stanford coincident with the launch of Stanford ChEM-H. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Are These Toxic Food Additives Derailing Your Gluten Free Diet? In this episode of the Gluten Free Warrior Podcast, I have Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru,

Compositions and methods for treating endothelial glycocalyx include glucosamine, hyaluronan and/or fucoidan, and one or more antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and/or polyphenol. The compositions improve vascular health by exhibiting beneficial synergistic effects on endothelial glycocalyx over the benefits of taking any single component alone or the sum of reported effects of the individual components. Specifically, components of the composition (1) enhance synthesis of new glycocalyx by (a) providing and (b) increasing production of glycocalyx precursors, (2) protecting existing glycocalyx against damage, such as by oxidation degradation, by (a) providing and (b) increasing production of antioxidants, some of which associate with endothelial glycocalyx, and (3) enhance repair of damaged glycocalyx by (a) providing glycocalyx mimetics and (b) increasing the prevalence of glycocalyx scaffold for association and incorporation thereof.

Sugars play a pivotal role in solving complex human health issues including heart, infectious, and neurodegenerative diseases. That was the consensus among a panel of carbohydrate experts at a public forum on November 1 in Edmonton, hosted by GlycoNet. The panel discussion, Why Sugars Matter in Fighting Disease, explored the role and significance of carbohydrates in fighting disease.

On Nov. 1, 2018, GlycoNet held a panel discussion, Why Sugars Matter in Fighting Disease, at the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Research Innovation in Edmonton, Alberta. The panel discussion was MC'd by author and former Daily Planet host Jay Ingram. Panel members included: Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada’s Chief Science Advisor; Dr. Todd Lowary, Scientific Director, GlycoNet; Dr. Lori West, Professor, University of Alberta and Director, Canadian Donation and Transplant Research Program (CNTRP); Dr. David Vocadlo, Professor, Simon Fraser University; Dr. Karla Williams, Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia and Co-founder of GlyCa BioSciences and; Ms. Erum Razvi, PhD candidate, The Hospital for Sick Children.

Butter has gotten a bad rap for many years, starting in the last century with the rise of margarine, which we now recognize as a deadly trans fat. More recently, butter has been shunned in favor of olive oil and canola oil. But here’s why we should reserve a place at the table for good old-fashioned butter

While coconut oil has dragged itself out of the muck of vast misrepresentation over the past few years as a 'deadly saturated fat,' it still does not get the full appreciation it truly deserves. Not just a "good" fat, coconut oil is an exceptional healing agent as well, with loads of useful health applications

15 Ways to LOSE WEIGHT & GET RID OF BELLY FAT without going to the gym. Most people just don't have the time to go to the gym, so for busy people, here are great ways to lose weight and burn fat at home or at work. Its FAST and EASY and SIMPLE! Follow these easy weight loss steps and watch what happens! TheHealthyLife: http://www.markusworld.com/thehealthylife/15ways Our Raw Vegan Health Cookbook: http://www.markusworld.com/healthycookbook/15ways Facebook: http://www.markusworld.com/facebook/15ways Instagram: http://www.markusworld.com/instagram/15ways Markus Rothkranz website: http://www.markusworld.com/Markus/15ways Online Health Store: http://www.markusworld.com/products/15ways German website: http://www.markusworld.com/german/15ways 15 Ways to lose weight FAST without going to gym, burn belly fat To lose weight, you MUST burn more calories than you eat. So how do you do this realistically with your busy crazy schedule? Here are15 ways to lose weight fast without going to the gym. 15 Drink LOTS OF WATER or Tea (not coffee- coffee burns out the adrenals and thyroid which leads to weight gain) 14 FIBER ****** Eating lots of fiber is one of the best ways to get thin and stay thin. It helps remove bad things from your body and helps keep you feeling full so you don’t eat much. Only fresh plant foods have fiber- animal products have zero fiber, they just constipate, so eat lots of fresh plant foods, salads, fiber and water. 13 KEEP MOVING- do NOT sit for long periods of time- Keep that body moving! Every 30 minutes do a 1 minute stand-lie-stand or squats (at work) 12 EXERCISE- the best time to exercise is on an empty stomach so your body is forced to use fat for fuel instead of food. Muscles can use fat for fuel… and working out muscles creates lactic acid… which melts fat 11 LOSE THE STRESS! Cortisol releases glycogen which raises blood sugar, which releases insulin which stimulates formation of fat. Stress also burns out the adrenals and thyroid which are needed to help keep you thin. 10 DON’T EAT UNTIL AFTERNOON - try for 4 pm, but at least not until noon and do your cardio before you eat so your body can only use fat for fuel, not food. 9 SLEEP EARLIER AND LONGER! This is actually one of the most important ways to lose fat. Sleeping burns more calories and fat than working out, but it needs to be SOUND sleep. Lack of sleep slows down your metabolism, your hormones and makes you more hungry and fat. People who sleep 10 hrs lose double the fat of those who sleep only 6 hrs 8 Reduce or totally cut REFINED OILS, and REFINED or CONCENTRATED SUGAR This includes fruit juice, honey and dried fruit which is highly concentrated sugar. 7 CUT ALL ALCOHOL Alcohol turns into sugar which turns into fat. It also fries the liver which is needed to process fats in the body. 6 EAT ONLY UNTIL YOU ARE 80% FULL This is one of the secrets of the longest living people on earth. If you eat until you are full, you have eaten too much! 5 ANYTHING that makes you BREATHE HEAVIER huffing and puffing 4 PROBIOTICS, CULTURED AND FERMENTED FOODS help keep you thin. The main food source for probiotics is fiber, so again- eat lots of fiber and fresh plant foods! 3 CLEAN YOUR LIVER- it doesn’t just process and get rid of fat, it processes estrogens. Too much estrogen makes you fat. A sluggish fatty liver results in a sluggish fatty body, so clean your liver with bitter food, not sweet food and get the liver formula at MarkusLiverFormula.com 2 Try to have SOUP and SALAD before a meal. It fills you up and makes you want less of the heavy fattening food. Plus, if your main course is cooked food, the salad is much better and more nutritious anyway. Of course do not get cream soup or creamy salad dressing and no cheese on the salad! (man goes Ooh! (darn!) Controlling yourself is key. The party lasts one night, belly fat lasts for weeks or months NUMBER ONE -WHAT YOU EAT -HOW MUCH YOU EAT -WHEN YOU EAT is more important than anything! Do not eat or snack all day long if you want to lose weight. Once you have the weight you want, then you can snack all day if you use the right foods. *BONUS* STAND MORE, SIT LESS. Standing burns more calories than sitting. Get a standing desk. SUNLIGHT triggers hormones and creates vitamins in your body that help you lose weight. Get at least 20 minutes a day Get the Fat-Weight-Cellulite ebook at MarkusEbooks.com Up next.. the top 10 exercises you can do at home to burn fat without going to the gym!

It’s no secret that I love to eat. My favorite food of all? Avocados.

A Paleolithic-type diet may help obese postmenopausal women lose weight, improve their circulating fatty acid profile and lower their future risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, new research reports.

A high-fructose, high-fat diet can cause harmful effects to the livers of adult rats, according to new research, providing new insight into the effects of adding fructose to a Western diet high in fat. The study showed that short-term consumption of a Western diet, rich in saturated fats and fructose, is more damaging for healthy liver development than following a high fat diet alone.

Olives are not only rich in healthy fats but also in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, making them a powerful superfood in support of heart and metabolic health

Can guacamole lower your cholesterol as well as other whole food fat sources such as nuts, or is it just avocado industry spin. Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org’s free newsletter to receive our B12 infographic that covers the latest research takeaways and Dr. Greger’s updated recommendations: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ What about adding avocado to a plant-based diet. Would there be any benefit then? That’s the topic of my next video, Avocados Lower Small Dense LDL Cholesterol (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Avocados-Lower-Small-Dense-LDL-Cholesterol).
