Recently my husband and I attended a gluten-free baking demo at our local Whole Foods Market. The certified nutritionist mentioned that sugar disables white blood cells. Being a research nut I decided to look for the research and was shocked! Here is an excerpt from an article I found along with a link to the rest of the article. The irritating part is that this research was reported in 1973!! I don't know about you but I hadn't heard about it. Check it out for yourself.
First of all, in 1973 the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a study by A. Sanchez et al, "Role of sugars in human neutrophilic phagocytosis", November, 1180-1184, showing that ingesting 100 grams of simple sugar lowers white blood cell activity for up to five hours. He got this result using processed honey, table sugar, and processed orange juice. This translates into a 50% reduction in the ability of white blood cells to engulf bacteria. The immune suppressing effect begins within ten minutes of ingesting the sugar. Lowered white blood cell activity means your immune system and it's ability to fight infection, is impaired.
White, refined sugar is also bleached with Chlorine Bleach, a substance that many people are sensitive to. Chlorine, when it combines with organic compounds, converts to Dioxin, a lethal chemical. No one should ever consume any substances that have been exposed to chlorine or chlorine bleach, nor use paper products that have been bleached.
