Dr. Bryan Ardis: Sugar Shuts Down Your Immune System and Makes You Vulnerable to Infection

Dr. Bryan Ardis: Sugar "literally shuts off your immune system and makes you more susceptible to all viruses, all infections".

"When you swallow sugar... 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."

"So if you're trying to fight an infection... and I find out you're eating doughnuts and pop tarts and cereal in the morning, you don't care about your health."
