Glyconutrition and Anti-Aging The Real Fountain of Youth

Fountain of Youth and Glyconutrition

Students of American history are introduced each year to the intriguing stories of the "conquistadors". You remember them don't you? They were the "rough and tumble" Spanish explorers and conquerors of the sixteenth century. They roamed the Americas looking for gold. They roamed the Americas looking for silver. They roamed the Americas looking for glyconutrition... uh... no... I can't say they were smart enough to be looking for glyconutrition. In fact, I can't really say they were all that... well... smart.

I mean, these Spanish "conquerors" wandered all over the Americas "discovering" anything promising quick wealth. They include men like Vasco de Balboa who, we're told," discovered the Pacific Ocean in 1513"... after the locals showed him where it was. Brain surgeon, he wasn't. So, for money, the local Native Americans took him to the beach on the other side of Panama and there he stood - on the beach- discovering the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, he just had to plant his flag and claim the ocean for Spain. The whole thing. It apparently didn't dawn on him that others may have been using the ocean before he saw it. Nope. Didn't discourage him one bit. Just went ahead and claimed it all for the "glory of God and Spain". You'll understand of course why the media didn't cover it.

Another case in point, Juan Ponce de Leon. This genius wanted to live forever (his own "anti-aging" plan). He thought, of course, that was a unique insight. Don't you think if there was a place where you could've gone to drink a glass of magic water - and it gave you eternal life - the buzz would have long since put skyscrapers and interstate highways all around it? Do you think the world would've waited for - of all people -a conquistador to find a drink like that? Everyone was still reeling in gut-busting laughter over Balboa.
