Sugar impairs the functioning of your immune system.  The previous chart shows how refined sugar weakens white blood cells.  White blood cells are essential to your state of health; they eat-up foreign invaders and seek-out to destroy cancerous cells.  When sugar is consumed, your immune system is weakened.  You and your family will “get sick” and be given antibiotics, and again begins the downward spiral of poor health.  Flu season starts in America around Halloween and continues through into the spring consuming “cookies” and Easter candy.  The “flu bug” is not necessarily an invader.  You have various “bugs” in you.  When you consume sugar, your immune system is weakened.  The unfriendly “critters” take over and you get sick.  Not all people “catch” the flu.  Patients in my practice who understand this DO NOT GET SICK.     

 

Eliminate your sugar consumption - You'll be glad you did!
