Dr. Sponaugle also recommends reducing sugar consumption, to increase immunity. Studies reveal consuming 100 grams of sugar reduced immunity for over five hours. Researchers measured activity of neutrophils, white blood cells which engulf and destroy bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Neutrophil activity was reduced over 45 percent, two hours, after sugar consumption. Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 30:613, 1977 Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 26:180, 1973.
Excessive sugar consumption causes chronic immune suppression, in many Americans. The average American consumes 125 grams of sucrose sugar daily, in addition to 50 grams of other refined sugars daily. A typical 12 ounce cola drink contains ten teaspoons or 41 grams of sugar. A Milky War candy bar contains 35 grams of sugar. Many herbal teas and energy drinks are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, which is essentially a refined sugar. Estimates indicate twenty percent of Americans consume over 75 grams of high fructose corn syrup daily. Since different parts of the immune system work together, through chemical messenger systems, increasing neutrophil activity can enhance Natural Killer Cell activity.
