Sugar has the potential to reduce your body's defenses

Hello @cwhii, I would like to add my welcome along with @lisalucier and other members. I'm certainly not an expert and I do have my problems with sugar consumption but I have cut back a lot. I have small fiber neuropathy and it really makes neuropathy worse so I've cut way back and only occassional treat myself. I used to drink a lot of pop and then switched to diet pop until I found out that it really makes the body crave more sweets. I looked at the site you referenced and linked to it below.

Dr. Linus Pauling did some research on the dangers of sugar which I think is where most of the data comes from.

I do know one thing. It's getting to be that time of year when all the treats start showing up and I really have to be on my best behavior and keep my hands in my pockets ☺

The details about the context and results have quantitative values but what one does to provoke the problem has simply the word "some". This means nothing to me. Such incongruencies triggers a fail on the-smell-test. Also, the "can get substituted my mistake" does not produce a clean quantitative value for me.
