Sound Nutrition At Its Best

The following information substantiates GNLD's position on good sound nutrition, why GNLD takes the stands it does, why it does not come out with "fad" products but only products founded on good solid scientific evidence and why GNLD is No. 1 in the industry when it comes to quality products. Please take the time to read this lengthly article. You will be glad you did.

Everyone wants to feel better. A quick walk past a bookstore or magazine rack tells you right away how badly people want to look and feel healthier.

While there is much sound nutritional advice out there, many "experts" seem to skip the first step: Good nutrition begins in the cells at the cellular level! Each of your cells is like a miniature body. Every cell must be able to take in nutrients and eliminate waste products efficiently, just like your body as a whole. Important nutrients known as phytolipids and phytosterols make cell membranes more pliable, allowing better absorption of nutrients and better elimination of waste. So, when their surrounding membranes are healthy and flexible, your cells work more efficiently -- and you feel more energized and experience better overall health.

Phytosterols have been featured in several recent scientific studies focusing on the correlation between phytosterols and cancer prevention. Dr. Awad and Dr. Fink from the State University of New York at Buffalo have conducted extensive research in this area. They propose that one of the greatest potential benefits these sterols offer is their ability to protect against cellular damage. These noted researchers correlate the amount of phytosterols consumed in the diet with the incidence of the most common forms of cancer in the Western world: colon cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. In contrast, Drs. Awad and Fink show that the cancer rate is considerably lower in Asian societies where consumption of phytosterols is much higher! The researchers theorize that phytosterols inhibit cell division, stimulate tumor cell death, and modify some of the hormones that play a part in tumor growth.²

The average daily consumption of phytosterols in the Western diet is between 160 and 360 mg which is significantly less than the typical Asian consumption of 350 to 400 mg per day.³ One of the reasons for this disparity is the manner in which foods here are commonly processed. The richest source of phytosterols are whole grains, including wheat, rice, and soybeans.

But these critical phytosterol nutrients are routinely stripped from whole grains during processing to avoid spoilage.

TRE-EN-EN® phytolipids: It All Starts With Your Cells!

Plant-based fats, called phytolipids, play a critical role in heart health and overall cellular efficiency. Of course, GNLD understood this 47 years ago, when we first used lipids to create our Tre-en-en® Grain Concentrates. Still, it's no wonder the awareness of the importance of lipids and sterols has grown significantly as research continues in this field. Phytolipids contribute to regulating a wide range of cellular functions, from the amount of inflammation occurring inside cells and the regulation of heart muscle contraction to maintaining free blood flow without excessive clotting and key immune system responses.¹

Lipids -- gotta love 'em!
But where have all the sterols gone?

Unfortunately, a longer shelf life means a seriously depleted nutrient value!

Consuming an optimal amount of phytolipids and phytosterols every day can be a challenge.

Here's the good news:

Tre-en-en® Grain Concentrates can bridge the gap between what your body gets and what it really needs. Tre-en-en® feeds your body's cells the whole-grain lipids and sterols they need with an exclusive whole food blend of wheat, rice, and soy. For a healthier more complete nutritional profile, Tre-en-en® puts back into your diet what phytolipids and phytosterols modern food processing takes out. So enjoy the many health benefits science is proving again and again -- from more energized cells to disease prevention -- with the power of Tre-en-en®.

HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT:

New research indicates a link between sufficient vitamin and mineral levels and losing and maintaining healthy body weight. According to Dr. Bruce Ames, Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a researcher at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI), satiety -- when the mind tells the body to stop eating -- may be linked to nutrients. "We know calories and exercise play a role -- but I think there's more to it than that," says Ames. "There are some 40 vitamins and minerals that are essential to the human body. If you sit down to a meal that doesn't give your body the nutrients it needs, your brain is likely to get the signal to go on eating until you get them."¹ Therefore, you will continue to experience cravings until you accidently fall upon large portions of that one nutrient your body is screaming for.

The results of research by a team from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are consistent with Dr. Ames's theory. The Seattle scientists found a link between weight maintenance and vitamins B6 and B12. Their research focused on subjects between the ages of 45 and 55 -- a common age for weight gain. They noted a significant correlation between weight maintenance and subjects who supplemented their diets with B vitamins.

Considerable attention has recently been given to the impact Calcium has on weight loss, as well. In an initial study conducted by Dr. Michael Zemel, Professor of Nutrition and Medicine at the University of Tennessee, volunteers who followed an eating plan that included two servings of yogurt a day lost 11 pounds of body fat during the year long trial without reducing caloric intake. In a follow-up study, Dr. Zemel used obese subjects whose caloric intake was restricted equally -- but this time half of the group added 1200 milligrams of calcium to their daily diet. The group with the calciumenriched diet lost twice as much -- 10.9% of body fats versus 5.4% -- as the group without the additional calcium intake. Dr. Zemel also found that calcium actually helps the body rid itself of fat cells through a process called apoptosis.

This can greatly impact one's ability to keep weight off, says Dr. Zemel. "If those fat cells are still there waiting to store excess energy, it's easy to gain the weight back again. If you get rid of the fat cells themselves, it's much easier to keep the weight off."²

While nutrient-rich foods may be the best source for critical vitamins and minerals, most diets fall significantly short of the recommended daily allowances.

Supplements help to fill in the holes. As Dr. Ames says, "Take a supplement..... There is plenty of evidence that it's good insurance."

GNLD understands the nutritional gap created by most Western diets. Our quality products, including Super-B™ Threshold Control™, B-Complex™,, Chelated Cal-Mag®, and Neo-Cal™ can bridge the nutritional gaps in your diet while helping you to maintain a healthy body weight.

Do you suffer from the effects of excessive physical stress? Whether you exercise regularly or have a physically demanding job, the effects of physical activity can slow you down. A study conducted by Dr. Patrick Bouic showed that marathon runners can recover more quickly -- without the acute inflammation associated with excessive physical stress -- when given a sterol-enriched supplement. In addition to demonstrating quicker recovery times, the athletes taking the sterol supplement had immune systems that were less compromised post-exercise than those of the athletes not taking the supplement.¹

With so much new research proving the benefits of lipids and sterols, it is no surprise that Tre-en-en® Grain Concentrates are becoming a regular part of today's healthy diet.

Vitamin E Plus contains 275 IUs of d-alpha tocopherols, and 50 mgs of the alphs, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols, all in naturally-occurring ratios.

As people age, many are not as efficient at digesting fats, which may further reduce the absorbability of vitamin E.

Research has shown that very high levels of vitamin E can be ingested every day for very long periods of time without any toxic symptoms.
