Block Deadly Effects Of After Meal Blood Sugar
Blood sugar levels surge after most meals, creating advanced glycation end products that accelerate aging processes. A fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine can impede glycation reactions, thus helping to protect against this destructive mechanism of elevated glucose.
Cancer Risks Of CT Scans
The National Cancer Institute researchers estimate that the 72 million CT scans performed annually will result in about 29,000 future cancer cases each year! Up to 44% of these CT scans may be medically unnecessary. Nutrients used by health-conscious individuals may afford some protection, but avoiding unnecessary exposure to radiation-emitting medical diagnostics is the first line of defense.
Chlorophyllin Protects Against Environmental Toxins
Every year, over 4 billion pounds of toxic, untested chemicals are released into the environment, many of which are known carcinogens. These chemicals surround us in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Overcooked foods create similar mutagenic compounds. Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble form of chlorophyll that has been shown to neutralize toxic compounds and protect cellular DNA against mutations that can lead to cancer.

Consumer Reports Discovers Dangers Of CT Scans And X-Rays
CT scans emit high amounts of ionizing radiation that damage DNA and create mutations that can lead to cancer. Life Extension® long ago cautioned against unnecessary X-ray exposure, but these early warnings were largely ignored. In 2015, Consumer Reports magazine published their own expose on radiation-emitting imaging procedures and the number of excess cancers they cause.
