Thioctic Acid

Thioctic acid (or lipoic acid as it is also known) can be found in foods such as milk and fatty fish. It helps reduce the risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke. You may have even taken it in supplement form.

Lipoic (thioctic) acid is rarely found in food. It is synthesized from soybean oil. This synthetic acid is not dangerous, non-toxic and even beneficial. People began to find beneficial properties in it and even added it to vitamins. However, most of the food we eat is animal to us. To digest it, the body produces a certain set of enzymes and proteins. One of them, coenzyme A, which is a precursor to thiamine (vitamin B1), although thiamine itself is not produced, is involved in the metabolism of acids present in food. The body is not able to recreate an important vitamin from the amount of proteins and amino acids it needs, and so artificial molecules of the substance are added to food - due to the lack of time in which people live, the result is not even a synthetic substance, but an artificially created vitamin. In theory, we get a lot of benefit, and that's only because animal protein food is quite expensive, considering how many farms produce it. Thus, people develop the ability to absorb such artificial vitamins rather than vitamins from natural foods. From meat, however, you get natural fats and sugars, which cause insulin levels in the blood to rise. This directly leads to a decrease in insulin resistance. At the same time, problems arise with the level of “bad” cholesterol and the insulin enzyme. All this increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cholecystitis, obesity, erosion of the walls of the stomach and intestines. As a result, we continue to degrade - and
