Glyconutrient Timeline and Science

There is no shortage of science and validation on Glyconutrients and Glycobiology, which is the study of how these essential nutrients function in the body. These nutrients have been benefiting people all over the world since before the age of the modern man. The fact that they are they are one of the most studied subjects on the face of the planet in the 21st century proves that they are an essential part of helping you and others like you to maintain or regain health regardless of the toxic environment we live in today.

The rubber hits the road when you start implementing these nutrients with the benefits to your body being seemingly endless. FYI, here are what some of the many top scientists, doctors, medical publications, and credible institutions that are studying or have put their seal of approval on this amazing technology are saying…

• Medline publishes initial article containing the term Glycoprotein in 1950.
• In 1952 in the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Lushbaugh found through studies that aged aloe gel had no beneficial effect on radiation burns. Only fresh aloe gel was active and effective.
• By 1970 just under 500 "Glycobiology" papers had been published.
• By 1980 approximately 1,500 articles about "Glycobiology" had surfaced.
• In 1983 "Acemannan" is the first isolated biologically active polysaccharide derived from aloe vera.
• By 1990 publications like Capitalizing On Carbohydrates by Bio Technology were arising. Carbohydrates found to be essential to proper immune function. The Nobel Prize was awarded that year for the discovery that when cell surface carbohydrates are involved, that two or more cells interact in a certain way.
• In the 1990’s Oxford University creates the Journal of Glycobiology. At this time glycobiology was quickly becoming one of the fastest growing fields of medical research.
• 1992 approval by the U.S.D.A paves the way for ACE-1 (clinical name for acemannan) to become the first injectable polysaccharide ("sugar chain") used to boost the immune system in chickens.
• Because of the desire for Americans to be educated about health and nutrition, Congress passed a law called the Dietary Health and Education Act or DESHEA. The 1994 induction of this act allowed the average consumer to be educated, through third party scientific validation, about what they were putting into their body. The benefits of dietary supplements and health promotion through nutrition are increasingly important to the market place and scientific studies further to validate their importance.
• Immune function found to be dependent on cell surface sugars which are necessary for recognition. –Nature Magazine published 1995
• Chapter 56, Vol. 24 in the 1996 v. Harper’s Biochemistry authored by Dr. Robert Murray states that eight "sugars" also known as monosaccharides are essential for cell to cell function and communication in the human body.
• In the spring of 1998 a prestigious Swiss medical journal Acta Anatomica submits an entire journal issue about Glycobiology, stressing the importance of the "sugar code" of biological information in the body.
• A 1998 Berger study shows that both Mannose and Galactose (monosaccarides or simple sugars) are utilized and assimilated into glycoproteins in the human body without being first converted into glucose. It was concluded by scientific researchers that a new classification of nutrients had been established because of the information found about the function of these specific dietary sugars.
• By the year 2000, scientists and medical doctors had produced and published well in excess of 8,000 glycobiology reports and papers.
• Later that same year Glycoscience.org was launched, making it the first web based site to compile all of these scientific reports and papers in one place.
• Newton Graphic Science magazine publishes a feature article "Science of Cellular Messaging" in 2000
• Science magazine considered by many in the field to be the preeminent science publication in the world publishes an issue mostly dedicated to Glycobiology. The March 2001 cover of this issue depicts a picture of "surface surgars" and Glycoprotein structures comprised of these sugars.
• In May 2001 the Trends in Immunology Research journal emphasizes the growing impact Glycobiology has on medicine. Scientists are very aware of how important understanding glycosylation pattern changes are.
• 2001 September Glycoscience.org awarded HON (Health on the Net) designation. HON, supported by the World Health Organization and the National Library of Medicine, sets ethical standards for medicalinformation on the internet.
• The National Library of Medicine and Health on the Net (HON) supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), recognizes Glycosceince.org in the fall of 2001 for its standards and ethics providing credible scientific information on the internet.
• National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted $34 million in seed money in 2001 for several major college institutions to research Glycobiology.
• Australian Journal of Chemistry publishes a special spring 2002 issue "Carbohydrate Research"
• Biochimie publishes two separate issues in 2002 that are dedicated to Glycobiology.
• Vol. 16 No. 9 of The Scientist features "Glycobiology Goes to the Ball" in April of 2002.
• June of that same year, the Journal of Medical Association, also known as JAMA becomes the first in the medical industry to recognize the necessity and need for supplements.
• Glyconutrients are the featured cover story in Scientific American, July 2002 stating that "sugars" are a present in physiological processes such as immune system function and communication between cells.
• New Scientist validates Glycobiology with their emphasis on the "Sugar Rush" being the standard for understanding developmental biology, neurology, as well as immunology
• 2002 World Web Health Award gives Glycoscience.org it’s "Merit" award for posting credible, clear and appropriate scientific information.
• In 2003 Glycomics is touted as "One the Ten Emerging Technologies That Will Change the World" by MIT Massachusetts Institute Of Technology in their Emerging technologies review.
• Two Silver World Wide Health on the Net Awards are given to Glycoscience.org in 2003. The site is recognized with these prestigious awards for being appropriate, clear, concise and credible.
• A top doctor in the field of glycomics, presents research focused on glycobiology and medicine at the 7th annual Jenner Conference, held at Oxford University in 2004.
• Also in 2004 Medline publishes 18,032 publications that contain the keyword "Glycoprotein" in them.
• 2004 marked the first and only time a nutritional company had ever to be invited to MIT’s Annual Emerging Technologies Conference. This company was selected to come present in the field of Glyconutrients and Glycobiology and the effects on human physiology.
