Supplements for joint paint relief
Mechanisms of action of cartilage degeneration
Proteoglycans form the articular surface of the joints and undergo continual breakdown and renewal
Matrix degeneration exceeds synthesis during cartilage degeneration resulting in progressive loss of proteoglycans and charged sulphate groups.
During aging there is reduced numbers of chondrocytes that are able to manufacture full sized extracellular matrix molecules.
There may be reduced activity of specific glycosyl and/or sulfotransferases that add individual sugar units and sulphate groups to the growing glycosaminoglycans chains, resulting in problems for proteoglycan sulfation.
Proteoglycan sulfation is necessary for fluid retention in the cartilage and smooth joint functioning.
Reduced nutrient sugar supply to chondrocytes may lead to a loss of proteoglycan production and cartilage degeneration.
Effect of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate
Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate act as readily available sugar to feed the glycosaminoglycan of the chondrocytes.
Combined adminstration of the above two is more effective than one alone.
Other effects of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate
May reduce matrix destruction.
1.Glucosamine inhibits interleukin-1-beta-induced proteoglycan catabolism by inhibition of the cleavage enzyme aggrecanase and production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E metalloproteinases and the downregulation of glucuronosyltransgerase.
2.Chondroitin sulphate is anti inflammatory and may inhibit the action of several proteases which destroy cartilage and cytokines secreted by leukocytes and chondrocytes.

LIPSTICK INFORMATION
Something to consider
Next time you go shopping for
Lipstick......
This comes from someone
Who works in the breast cancer unit at
Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto .
From: Dr. Nahid Neman
If there is a female you care anything about,
Share this with her. I did!!!!!
I am also sharing this with the males on my e-mail list,
Because they need to tell the females
THEY care about as well!
Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth'
Decreased their prices from
$67 to $9.90.
It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCÔME
CLINIQUE
Y.S..L
ESTEE LAUDER
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
The higher the lead content,
The greater the chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipsticks,
It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
Contained the most amount of lead.
Watch out for those lipsticks
Which are supposed to stay longer.
If your lipstick stays longer, it is
Because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick colour changes to black,
Then you know the lipstick contains lead.
Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
Wives and female family members.
This information is being circulated at
Walter Reed Army Medical Centre
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
Especially breast cancer

Food Coatings
Functions of food coatings
1)Prevent oxidation
2) Limit moisture and oil transfer
3) Provide freeze/thaw stability
4) Extend shelf life of coated product
Types of food coatings
Flour breader--make of wheat flour and may consist of corn flour,
starches, gum, coloring agents and seasonings
Cracker Meal breaders--- consist of flour and water, used as binder
thickener and extender
American Bread Crumbs--Used for foods intended for frying
Have a crispy and crunchy texture
Japanese Bread Crumbs--Also known as Panko. Used mainly on a coating system on shrimps
Sometimes gum like alginates, carageenan, xanthan gum are added to the batter to be used as an undercoat before breading is applied

Chocolate may lengthen your lifespan!
Chocolate is rich in cocoa polyphenols.
Cocoa polyphenols have strong antioxidant properties.
They have positive effects on immune and respiratory system.
They are claimed to improve brain functions.
Cocoa polyphenols not only improve the quality of life, especially when getting
order, but also may well play a part in prolonging it as well.---ETAP Research Center,France
