Now Water molecules are made from Hydrogen and Oxygen Atoms.
Atoms:
Each element on the periodic chart are atoms. Atoms are made from three main components. In the middle of the atom is the nucleus that contains Protons and Neutrons. Circling the centre/core of the atom is the electrons. These atoms are numbered because of the sub atomic partials counts. The counts are of the Electrons or protons. The neutron count can be different. A Hydrogen atoms the neutron count can be zero or one.
The electrons go around in shells and the shells hold different maximum amounts. The first shell holds 2 electrons. The next shell holds 8 electrons, and the third also holds 8.
The forth shell holds 18 electrons.
Look at the table and the first line has two elements and the next two lines have 8 elements. Each line is the shell count of maximum electrons.
Hydrogen and Carbon have special bonding properties. First how do you atoms bond and make Molecules?
Columns indicate the number of electrons in the shell.
Hydrogen, Lithium, Potassium, and the rest of the elements in this column only have one electron in their outer shell.
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and the rest of the elements in this column are one electron short of the maximum in their outer shell.
Helium, Neon, Argon, and the rest of the elements in this column hold the maximum in their outer shell. This makes these elements inert and not able to join with other atoms. These atoms do not form molecules. For atoms to form molecules the outer electrons shells share electrons to full the outer shell. This is done by mixing elements on the left side with the right side of the table but not necessarily the same line.
Any element from column 1 and column 17 can mix and form molecules. These molecules are called salts and a common one is NaCl (Sodium Chloride).
The element Silicon has special properties where it can gain or lose 4 electrons but this element is not dietary element. Compounds made from Silicon should not be consumed but it has ability to generated electricity in solar cells.
Carbon above Silicon also can form molecules by giving or gaining 4 electrons. This means it can be joined to atoms on left and right side of the table to form molecules. Some molecules it makes are damaging to the body and a lot build the body.
Hydrogen can gain or loose an electron to make molecules. This too can join to anything on the periodic tables and shares the same rules about the molecules it makes, which is some are either harmful or good.
The reason I went through this is to explain molecules because Digestions and Glands are about creating or breaking down molecules.
Hydrogen and Carbon are biggest molecule makers.
Methane is the purest hydrocarbon CH4
Glucose 6C12H6O is simple sugar. It is 6 parts Soot (Carbon) and 6 parts water. Glucose is a fine powder.
Sucrose is two Glucose molecules joined together. 12C24H12O. This is the crystal sugar that comes from sugar cane. It is the common table sugar.
Maltose is three glucose molecules joined together. 18(CH2O).
Mixing 200 glucose molecules into the molecule is a carbohydrate.
Fruit has a sugar called Fructose. Milk has a sugar called Lactose.
Amino Acids are carbohydrates mixed with a mineral. Minerals are dietary elements from the periodic table. This is glossing over complexity of Protein.
Dietary Minerals include Element 3 to 20 excluding 5 Boron and inert compounds.
Minerals can be taken on their own but usually require another chemical call vitamins. Some require enzymes. Some enzymes can come from diet but are usually created in glands. Some of the enzymes can be absorbed from diet but Coenzyme Q10 that makes it possible for the mitochondria to convert Saturated Fat into energy is made in a giant gland called the liver. The liver requires Vitamin B1 to make the enzyme. There are Dietary supplement that is called CoEnzyme Q10 but whether you are buying Bio Active product is not guaranteed.
The supplement might get destroyed in the stomach or not get absorbed. So it is best to rely on the liver to supply it. If the liver does not create enough CoEnzyme Q10 then the Saturated Fat will not convert to energy properly and the body can try and to burn sugar instead. This leads to endless health problems, which can include cancer. This is important later on when I talk about Metformin and other medications.
Digestion turns nearly everything to glucose. This is not for our energy but for the basic elements carbon and water. These get used in glands mixed with minerals and enzymes and with the help of vitamin turned into compounds required by the body.
So the stomach have compounds and bacterium called Sucrase and Maltase and Protase Lactase and Fracase to break the compounds into sugar but the body does not burn the sugar. Why does some of sugar get put into the blood?
There is a enzyme called glucase that breaks the soot and water molecule into basic elements. But there are some single cell organisms that want sugar to live and replicate. Bacteria and mould (single cell organisms) both reproduce every 20 minutes and require the glucose. Bacteria and mould help the process of converting molecules.
The body puts the sugar into the blood to go where it is needed by the single cell organisms but sugar is a gooey sticky compound and clog the ends of fine blood vessels. Fine blood vessel are found in the end of limbs and in the ears and eyes. This means bad things can happen to eyes, hands, and feet from poor circulation. The sugar only becomes available when the person eats and because that it is not continuously or every 20 minutes when the bacterium reproduces storage of glucose is required. Storage is a problem so three hormones are used. One is Insulin. The job of insulin is to measure the blood sugar level and when it exceeds a measurement it pushes the excess into cells using another hormone. The cells are only temporary storage but cells have a limit before they are suffering from the gooey sticky compound.
When insulin measure the blood sugar dropping because it is consumed by the single cell organisms it uses the third hormone to release the glucose from the cell back into the blood.
When the system plays up (many reasons why and all curable) it puts to much sugar into the blood and the insulin tries putting excess into the cells, and the cells reaches it limit the doctor puts Metformin and Statin of some brand to force the glucose into the cell. These medications destroy bodily functions by effecting Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B12. Other vitamins are also destroyed by these medications.
The mitochondria not running properly as it is forced to burn sugar. This causes people to gain weight.
There are many curable reasons of why excessive sugar is not being broken down by Glucase and ending up in the blood. A common one is the liver has struck problems and another is the stomach PH level is to high instead of being very Acidic.
The liver can develop a condition of where 2 grams of fat knocks the gland out of order. For non-metric countries 2 grams is 1 fourteenth of an ounce. Anyone who says cut back on sugar and carbohydrates and try and live with the disorder should be ignored.
