We live in an increasingly toxic environment. Since WWII we have entered a “Chemical Age” where industrial and agricultural chemicals are constantly added to our water, soil, air and our food. We are faced daily with pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, food additives, drugs, petroleum and petroleum products such as plastics. Some scientists have estimated that 50 to 95 percent of cancers are caused by diet and environmentent. A key ingredient that can help increase our body’s detoxification process is Calcium D-Glucarate. Our main way of removing toxins takes place in the liver in a process called Phase II detoxification. During this process Calcium D-Glucarate bonds with toxins (making them more water-soluble) and easily removed from the body. The E Coli bacteria in our gut produce an enzyme that inhibits detoxification. Calcium D-Glucarate is changed in the GI tract to a form that prevents that enzyme from interfering, allowing toxins to be eliminated naturally. A high-fat, high-meat diet leads to higher levels of this enzyme known as B-glucuronidase. More than 20 studies published in cancer research journals have shown that Calcium D-Glucarate may inhibit the development of cancer in lab animals. Calcium D-Glucarate may help to prevent breast and other hormonally based cancers by blocking the effects of chemicals that mimic estrogen (xenoestrogens) and can stimulate cancer growth.
