Heart of hearts !

Australia: A group of researchers studying at the University of Melbourne discovered that seleno-sugar compounds can shut down tissue damaging acids. This can prevent heart disease. Corin Storkey who was part of the group said :

"Although these compounds are not the kind of sugar most people would buy as a Valentine’s Day gift, we are still very excited by their potential to maintain a healthy heart "
“Our seleno-sugar compounds work by scavenging hypohalous acids, a group of highly reactive chemicals that can damage tissues when produced in the wrong place, at the wrong time, or at excessive levels,” says Carl Schiesser, professor of chemistry.
