Hey Everybody,
The following piece of the BBC story correlates beautifully with a California Irvine study recently completed:
BBC -- One of the most exciting finds was a previously unknown gene common to type 1 diabetes and Crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disorder, suggesting that they share similar biological pathways. "
IRVINE, CA -- In studies on mice, researchers found that N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), which is similar but more effective than the widely available glucosamine, inhibited the growth and function of hyperactive T-cells that mistakenly directs the immune system to attack the insulin-producing cells
I called a herbalist in Canada who sells NAG (as he called it) and he said that people with irritable bowel syndrome usually take it but he had never heard of diabetics taking it. He said it's too large a molecule to be absorbed anywhere but the intestine -- where it's been shown to heal ulcers and other bowel problems. So when this BBC report came out -- I had to share with everybody both stories in one email :)
Best,
Allie
