The One Mineral You Need To Break Down Carcinogenic Nitrosamines

A carcinogen has the ability to damage the genome and disrupt the cellular metabolic processes.

The most natural carcinogenic compound that we eat and that the body produces are nitrosamines.

Nitrosamines are produced through frying anything which changes the carbon in the nitrates, however nitrosamines are mostly due to the NPK soils.

When Molybdenum (Mo) is available, it helps the nitrate reductase enzyme work to prevent the conversion of nitrates into nitrosamines.

So the bottom line is you need Mo to help break down the very carcinogenic nitrosamines, but the problem is NPK soils have low Mo; furthermore, this trace mineral is deficient in almost everyone I test.

One of the main functions of molybdenum is to keep copper in check, and fluoride inhibits the absorption of Mo—so you must avoid fluoride as best you can.

With low Mo, we will also usually have a copper overload compounding the effects of a deficient Mo status in the body.

Mo helps to break down aldehydes, which we absorb from furniture, glues, perfumes, carpets, etc., and yeast such as candida.

Bacteria and parasites also produce aldehydes, and to break down the aldehydes, the enzyme aldehyde oxidase needs Mo because it is a Mo dependent enzyme.

So once again, these little trace minerals, even though they are needed in small trace amounts, are critical for health, and when deficient, which most of us are, then there will be a price to pay.
