G6PDD is an inherited chromosome deficiency that affects the red blood cells’ ability to supply oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. This condition affects over 600 million people worldwide; it is the most common human enzyme defect, with over 400 variants. People with G6PDD need to have a diet that is free of all legumes and other foods that can trigger reactions as well as eliminating many of the toxic substances found in processed foods and the chemicals used in food production.
There is no cure for G6PDD, it is a condition, not a disease, with many people are not aware they have this condition until serious complications become apparent in later life. All these complications can be avoided and people can live a normal, healthy, happy life if they take the measures outlined in his book. We describe which foods have to be avoided and which foods are beneficial, giving the reasons why and information on the many harmful substances add to processed foods.
