Claims About Sugar, Immunity, and Prednisone

Did you know that sugar, when you eat it, a donut, Pop-Tart, piece of bread,

doesn't matter, Kool-Aid, Dr. Pepper,

did you know that when you swallow sugar, they have known for 70 years

that it goes inside your bone marrow and it suppresses within 45

minutes your body's ability to produce white

blood cells that fight infections like bacteria, yeast, viruses, funguses,

and parasites. Did you know that it literally

shuts off your immune system and makes you more susceptible to all viruses,

all infections,

and did you know that they compared sugar to prednisone? Prednisone is a steroid,

and do you know that its job is to suppress your immune system,

in fact, it's called an immune system suppressant.

Did you know that sugar suppresses your immune system more than prednisone does?

So if you're trying to

fight an infection, if you're worried about the bird flu in the future,

and I find out you're eating donuts and Pop-Tarts and cereal in the morning,

you don't care about your health.
