"100 years ago daily sugar intake was only about 15 grams and that was primarily from organic fresh fruit. What happened in the last century is that the average person is now consuming about 75 grams of fructose per day. That's 5 times increase, and fructose levels this high can devastate your immune response. About 80% of our immune response is a result of the functioning of our gut. Sugar is a fertilizer for these very dangerous pathogenic bacteria, yeast, fungi that can really set up your system to be assaulted by these viruses. Sugar weakens the immune system and exposes it to develop infection. It's crucial to minimize your sugar intake and to also increase the fertilizer for the good bacteria: the probiotics. Make sure to eat plenty of good healthy fresh vegetables because the fiber in vegetables serves as a nutrient, fertilizer and growth material for the good bacteria."
