I can't answer the questions about how glucose or altered ingested sugars
might be changed into toxic metabolites. I am a neurochemist and
carbohydrate metabolism is not my field. I doubt if it has been studied
thoroughly, except maybe by the Picower people who study AGE's. But I do
know that many neurochemicals, like neurotransmitters are deactivated by
methylation, for example, and these altered metabolites, if not
eliminated, are stored in neurons and make them toxic. The body uses the
same physiological principles throughout, so it is very likely that
carbohydrates can be altered as well, and that toxic metabolites
accumulate.

Most of my understanding about toxicosis come from the study of Natural
Hygiene writers, primarily Herbert Shelton. Are you familiar with his
works?

My best, Ellie
