They are found naturally in food; several foods would have to be eaten to get them all; cranberries, coconut, kelp or fucus, whey powder and milk products, animal protein, aloe vera, for example. Some of these whole foods like aloe vera and kelp do not taste very good, so would be hidden in the diet somehow. Good thing glyconutrients can be extracted from foods just like sugar is extracted from cane. As far as them being a food or a supplement, what do you think, is sugar, corn sugar, glucose or fructose a supplement or a food after they are extracted from corn, beets, cane, or berries?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Duncan, Thanks for the explanation – and actually, I don’t consider sugar, corn sugar, glucose or fructose, that is extracted from foods, to be a food or a supplement. I do though consider them all to be toxins in your body. They aren’t necessary, are they? I try to stay away from all types of sugar. But from your explanation, the glyconutrients are good guys, but I am thinking the other sugars that you listed are the bad guys.
