In one study, research on vitamin C in both mice and humans has shown that in amounts of 5g a day, it can rid the body of H. pylori in up to 30% of individuals. Epidemiological studies have also shown, more or less across the board, that …

The human gastrointestinal tract harbours a complex micro-bacteria consisting of between 500 and 1000 distinct microbial species. Our intestinal bacteria have a larger role in health than we have previously suspected. A microbiome is “the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that literally share our body space. The human body contains over 10 times more microbial cells than human cells, although the entire microbiome only weighs about 200 grams and some weight estimates ranging as high as …

Why Sugar Is Not Good For You – Sugar Causes Havoc with Testoserone and Oestrogen
Why Sugar Is Not Good For You – Sugar Causes Havoc with Testosterone and Oestrogen Studies have shown that even moderate amounts of sugar can increase your risk of disease. Research performed at the Child and Family Research Institute in Vancouver, Canada identified that eating too much sugar can affect testosterone and oestrogen levels. When females experience elevated insulin levels, there is an enzyme known as 17,20 lyase that gets up-regulated and then converts some oestrogen into testosterone. In males, elevated insulin levels will increase the enzyme aromatase which will cause some testosterone to be converted into oestrogen. Oestrogen and …
