Is Diabetes A Deficiency Disease?

A diabetes research conducted by a Taiwanese company has been working on the theory that most forms of diabetes are due to a deficiency in the body of a natural element called GTF or Glucose Tolerance Factor. GTF's most important component is trivalent chromium. When these two elements are found low in the body, human cells are unable to absorb glucose and hyperglycemia or high blood sugar occurs, according to Dr. Frank Mao Chia Hung, endocrinologist from Maxluck Biotechnology Corp. and the Taiwan Chung Hoing University.

The study also found that trivalent chromium from natural foods is not easily absorbed by the body. Previous studies have shown that the body absorbs only uo to three percent of the substance. According to Dr. Mao, by using Lactoferrin, a kind of protein as the carrier of trivalent chromium, blood glucose levels are lowered. Dr. Mao discovered that Lactoferrin is the best carrier for trivalent chromium.
