by Megan a. Metzellar (Author), Nicholas L. Pokoluk (Author)

The stealth process of glycation is at work in our bodies every minute of our lives. It slowly but surely invades our every cell right down to the genomic levels. Glycation creates disruptions in cellular function and structures and thereby drives higher level dysfunctions in the tissues and organs. It is a very significant element of serious chronic disease development and the aging process itself and therefore is a strong factor affecting our longevity. Unfortunately little is known about glycation by the general public and even the medical community is basically ignorant of the havoc it creates. This book is offered s an introduction to glycation and its role in aging and many associated diseases. Read it and pass it on to your doctor.
