Health Warnings: Calcium-D-Glucarate! from AmMetLabs

WARNING

Calcium D-Glucarate

Some "health" industry manufacturers advertise and sell

calcium d-glucarate

for the inhibition of the "cancer enzyme," ß-glucoranidase.

Calcium D-Glucarate is a sugar acid derivative of the oxidation of

D-gluconic acid. It is practically insoluble in water, alcohol and ether. It is

soluble in mineral acids and calcium gluconate.

It is used as a pharmaceutic aid and,

plasticizer in

cement,

concrete,

mortar,

and recently as a nutritional/food supplement by some.

ACTUALLY,

the

ß-glucoranidase inhibitor is not calcium D-glucarate but

D-glucaric acid.

No one may know the possible long term adverse health and longevity affects of calcium D-glucarate plasticizer. We only know for certain that it is

NOT

the compound that inhibits the cancer enzyme, ß-glucoranidase.

The question is, do we need a plasticizer in our intestines and consequently in our blood vessels? Aren't there already enough chemicals in our foods and supplements, e.g. titanium dioxide that can possibly clog up the capillary and arterial blood vessels?

It is advisable to avoid the ingestion of calcium-d-glucarate. All health products containing potentially dangerous additives should be recalled immediately.
