ABSTRACT:
Simple sugars with sulfur replacing the ring oxygen atom protect normal healthy cells of animals from radiation or from any other reaction that produces free radicals and damages the cells through the action of the free radicals. To be effective, the thio-sugars must undergo transport to cells that may be adversely affected by free radicals. 6-Thio-D-fructose is an example of a sugar that is readily transported from the gastrointestinal tract to the cardiovascular system and thereby disseminated to cells throughout the body. As it is absorbed into the cells, it protects against all kinds of radiation that adversely affects cells through the creation of free radicals. It is believed to be effective against all high-energy radiation that produces free radicals in living material, and therefore is effective against radiation such as X-ray, gamma, alpha, pi mesons, neutrons, and ultraviolet light radiation. Therefore, it even offers protection against sunburn.
