The best book on Glyconutrients

This book is easily read in 30 minutes time. It answers all my questions on glyconutrients. In fourteen chapters, it tells me the advantages of glyconutrients to mend the damage to our bodies resulted from pollution of chemicals and viruses. The eight saccharides - glucose, galactose, fucose, mannose, xylose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, N-acetyglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine are miracle ingredients to good health. The book also provides references of published articles on the goodness of glyconutrients, which makes reading more interesting.
