[Function]

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) have been heralded for their medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. Egyptians ate grapes a very long time back, and several ancient Greek philosophers spoke about the healing power of grapes — usually in the form of wine. European folk healers made an ointment from the sap of grapevines to treat skin and eye diseases. Grape leaves were used to stop bleeding, inflammation, and pain, such as the kind brought on by hemorrhoids. Unripe grapes were used to treat sore throats, and dried grapes (raisins) were used for constipation and thirst. Round, ripe, sweet grapes were used to treat a range of health problems including cancer, cholera, smallpox, nausea, eye infections, and skin, kidney, and liver diseases.

Grape seed extracts are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid and phenolic OPCs. The typical commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols having antioxidant activity in vitro.

Being a raw foodist is quite a big discipline and we all have those moments where we are desiring foods or activities that are less good than our high ideals. Reishi Mushrooms to the rescue! Reish is a Shen (spirit) stabilizer and will magically make things happen with you without effort that would normally take a lot of discipline…
I personally have always been very emotional and very sensitive, and at times a complete victim to these things. As of this post I have been taking Reishi daily since Nov 1 2008—–
Nothing has had more of an POSITIVE impact on my forward evolution like Reishi, INCLUDING RAW FOOD!

Ring Structure of Monosaccharide: Aldehyde or ketone of monosaccharide react with a hydroxyl group of farthest chiral center, with the elimination of water ring structure is formed. Formation of ring structure introduce an extra chiral center and that carbon is called anomeric carbon. Anomeric carbon (C1) employ alpha and beta form. In beta form hydroxy group is found above the plane while in an alpha form it is below the plane. Alpha form of glucose unit found in storage polysaccharide and beta form found in structural polysaccharides.
