Hi!
Researchers in Sweden have discovered that a molecule called hyaluron is in overdrive and drowning a lot of Covid-19 patients.
I read somewhere that this molecule is created by sugar?
Could low-carb be a thing that protects us from severe outcomes?
Anyone who has knowledge about this?
I have no English article but if you use google translate you will understand. Swedish to English works very well.
Interesting article - thanks. Being able to provide treatment to prevent drowning in your own fluids is a big deal! Drugs are already approved for safety - just need to approve for COVID-19.
And yes, it appears from the translation that the harmful substance is formed from the breakdown of “grape sugar” (fructose? glucose? need a Swede here to interpret) in the body and may explain why diabetics are at greater risk for complications.
