Glyconutrients: Don't believe the hype

Have you heard of Glyconutrients? They're a form a manufactured sugar that are supposedly healthy for you, because apparently your body is lacking in these so-called 'essential' sugars. Does this sound like a hoax to you? It does to me.

And it is, according to Mark's Daily Apple, who weighs in on the idea of Glyconutrients and uncovers that there is no such things as an essential sugar. In short, those who purchase glyconutrients are wasting their money, and there have been numerous lawsuits and warning letters urging manufacturers to stop scamming consumers.

So remember, don't believe everything you read, especially if the word 'glyconutrients' is in there.
