The discovery of a new class of nutrients called glyconutrients and the role they play in our bodies, has been hailed as one of the 10 technologies which will change the world by the International Association of Nutritional Education.
Scientists believe all disease starts at a cellular level and can be directly linked to the failure of our body's ability to communicate from cell to cell.
Glyconutrients are eight essential sugars which ensure cells communicate effectively.
Autoimmune diseases such as Hughes Syndrome and Lupus are linked to lack of glyconutrients.
Research into this subject has already picked up the past four Nobel prizes for Physiology and Medicine.
To encourage children to increase their intake of these sugars GlyonutritionForLife research resource and online stockist of glyco supplements launched Glyconutrient Gummy Bears last month.
