Subject: Houston public charity to evaluate effects of the sugar trehalose on devastating Huntington’s disease (HD).

May 5, 2008 (Houston) Huntington’s is one of the most devastating health challenges known to humans. Huntington’s is hereditary and children normally have the gene but do not develop the tremors until later in life. There is no known cure for this deadly neurodegenerative disease.

The Endowment for Medical Research hopes to gather data from a few thousand participants over an extended period of time to provide important information toward future pilot surveys and clinical studies and published papers.

Trehalose is found in nature and has been tested to produce lower insulin and blood glucose responses than regular sugar. Trehalose is two glucose molecules uniquely bonded together resulting in a sugar about 45% as sweet as table sugar with a very clean taste and can replace the sugar in your sugar bowl.

The Endowment for Medical Research is a 501(c)(3) faith-based research and educational public charity based in Houston. The organization has conducted nutritional pilot surveys throughout the US and some foreign countries. More information or forms to participate in the study are available at www.endowmentmed.org at the following links:
