SUGAR HINDERS IMMUNITY

In addition to its druglike effects on mood and emotions, its disruption to the endocrine system, and its toxic effects on the liver, sugar is guilty of weakening the immune system. Studies show that the immune system’s key white blood cells are crippled by sugar for 4 to 6 hours after sugar has been eaten. This means that if your child has just had some candy before a playdate and then is exposed to strep or a virus during it, she’s much less able to defend herself. That is to say, she is more likely to get sick because she’s consumed sugar. Further, sugar depletes B vitamins and other nutrients, which are critical to immune system functioning and protection against infection. Worse, sugar displaces more nutrient-dense foods in the diet, further reducing intake of nutrients that could protect her and strengthen her immunity.
