New study proves atherosclerosis is early form of scurvy
Of all these risk factors, by far the most important is a molecule known as Lipoprotein(a). Primarily found in humans and sub-human primates, Lipoprotein(a) functions as a repair molecule compensating for the structural impairment of the vascular wall. In general, animals that produce vitamin C in their bodies do not produce Lipoprotein(a).
In human beings, in the case of a chronic deficiency of vitamin C, the arterial repair process becomes continuous. Over the course of many years atherosclerotic deposits develop, eventually leading to heart attacks and strokes.

Curcumin And Grape Seed Stop Cancer
Potentially Improves Chemotherapy
One of the biggest barriers to conventional cancer treatment is that cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Trying to overcome that with higher dosages isn’t always an option because of the terrible side effects, including some
that are lethal. But like curcumin, French grape seed may alleviate that. Another scientific study found that OPCs from French grape seed slowed the growth of resistant cancer cells and inhibited the proteins that would otherwise help cancer cells thrive. This means that the grape seed extract could be part of an adjunct therapy to chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer and make those drugs more effective at lower dosages.
PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS
Some of the biggest offenders for acidity and weakening bone density are:
- Sugar
- Processed meat
- Soft drinks
- Grains and refined carbs, including bread and pasta
Avoid these foods to keep your bones healthy, as all of these food choices tend to pull calcium from soft tissue and bones.
