Every single nutrient—every vitamin, mineral, trace mineral, electrolyte, amino acid, phytochemical compound, antiviral and antibacterial compound, antioxidant, and anthocyanin—can only enter into a nerve cell if it’s attached to glucose.

Nerve cells are the hungriest cells of all when it comes to sugar; nerve cells demand glucose.

Nerve cells open up to be fed as glucose arrives, so that nutrient being attached to glucose is the only way a nerve cell can receive nutrients. It’s the only way someone can receive, for example, vitamin B12: if it arrives with glucose.

Medical research and science have not yet discovered this process of mineral salts helping to drive glucose into our cells more efficiently, with the least possible resistance, and yet it’s vital.

natural sugar is (1) bonded to critical nutrients that you can’t get any other way and (2) a missing piece in liver health. Much of the time when sugar gets the blame, what scientific observation is truly picking up on—without realizing it—are the ill effects of the combination of processed sugar plus fat. We covered this a bit in the previous chapter, and we’ll look at it in much more detail later. It’s not only that the nutrients happen to be bonded to sugar; the liver needs nutrients that are surrounded by sugar, because sugars help it do its job.

Sugar is how other nutrients propel through the bloodstream and enter into organs; without sugar, a nutrient can’t drive itself where it’s needed. Fat doesn’t work this way. The fats we eat don’t carry an antioxidant, vitamin, or other nutrient for delivery in the body; they don’t drive nutrients into organs and tissue. That doesn’t mean that healthy fats don’t hold nutrients—it’s that they don’t deliver them the way sugars do. A healthy fat will indeed contain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and that’s the basis of the scientific belief system that fats are so beneficial.

What medical research and science don’t realize is that as healthy as a given fat source may be, as much as it may have to offer, it’s a microscopic fraction of what sugar has to offer in the way of actually getting nutrients to their destinations. Radical fats’ nutrients are hard to access, because

The truth is that glucose fuels the heart. This muscular organ, when it doesn’t get enough glucose—because the liver has run out of glucose and glycogen storage—can atrophy or enlarge. So there’s your connection: the liver’s sugar storage.

Some time ago we started an article KETO'S FATAL FLAW @ https://vitamincfoundation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14678 that argues contrary to common knowledge, carbohydrates are far from empty calories, and that the key sugar component of a carbohydrate, i.e., glucose, is the basic fuel for the human body and brain.

Replenishing the brains supply of glucose should be job number one for anybody with any brain disorder.


Anthony William, Brain Saver, p. 289

When someone is hooked on processed sugar, it's and indication of a glucose deficiency, sometimes going back to early insulin resistant in childhood. That feeling of a desperate hunt for processed sugar comes from looking for the fastest way to get glucose to the brain. It's not so much that someone is addicted to the sweet flavor; its that their brain is seeking out a direct line of sugar to correct a deficiency.


If that sugar could really reach the brain as intended, the person would become content and not sugar-crazed afterward. Sugar is not an addictive substance. The reason why it seems addictive is that excess fat in the bloodstream prevents much of the sugar from entering the brain, which leaves the person with excess sugar floating around the bloodstream and the fat from the food causing insulin resistance. Its a vicious cycle.

It's very uncommon to consume sugar without some form of fat alongside it. . . . We blame sugar highs and lows on the sugar. The real reason for the highs and lows is the fat...

We're always in need of glucose for the brain. That's why anyone craves sugar in the first place.

Even with insulin resistance occurring from fat in the bloodstream, some sugar is getting through, enough to give someone a quick moment, maybe even a hour or so, when they feel relief because that glucose is addressing a long-standing deficiency.

Trouble is, remedying a glucose deficiency with processed sugar is remedying it the wrong way. Processed sugar isn't supposed to be used in this way - and again, we're normally combining the processed sugar with fats, or there's fat in our blood stream from earlier in the day.

We used to recommend not taking vitamin C with sugar, based on Dr. Ely's Ascorbate Antagonism Theory. Apparently this advice was wrong, as well as the advice to take CoQ10 with fats. Apparently the reason that the late Dr. Sinatra measured higher levels of CoQ10 in his patients when they ate fat - is because the CoQ10 was not being absorbed into cells.

William, Anthony. Medical Medium Brain Saver (pp. 415-416). Hay House. Kindle Edition. wrote:In order to utilize vitamins and other nutrients, you have to have rapid absorption time into organs and cells. You have to get the minerals, vitamins, and nutrients at their peak strength and usefulness. Again, nutrients are supposed to be entering organs quickly, entering nerve cells throughout the body, and most importantly, entering the liver and the brain. Nutrients aren’t supposed to be free-floating in the blood for long. Fat slows everything down, and not in a helpful way—it’s not like fat sitting in the bloodstream and holding back vitamins and nutrients creates some type of beneficial time-release.

If someone eats a high-fat salad, you would see those vitamins in their urine hours later because the vitamins are not being absorbed. Whereas if someone ate a fat-free salad on a day they didn’t eat any fat-based foods at all, you would hardly see any of those vitamins in the urine. Where did most of the vitamins go in the fat-free scenario? The organs and cells absorbed them.

When vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are floating around the bloodstream too long, suspended there because of fat in the blood, they’re not entering cells and they’re really not being utilized.

Antioxidants are an example of what we miss out on if our bloodstream is consistently filled with fats. The brain is partially saturated with antioxidants. We rely on antioxidants to slow down oxidation of brain tissue. When we consume foods rich in antioxidants, the majority of the antioxidants are meant to be drawn into the brain, where they’re needed the most. Fats consistently interfere with antioxidant absorption in the brain, minimizing the amount of antioxidants entering and even reaching the brain. Fats in the bloodstream and fats inside the brain are antioxidant stoppers and blockers.
