Research indicates the function of your immune system is damaged almost immediately after the consumption of sugar.  Sugar is present in foods you may not even suspect.  Products such as ketchup, lunch meats, breads and your favorite fruit juices are laced with this deadly substance.

The sugar in one can of soda can be enough to suppress your body’s immune defenses by 30 percent or more for a three-hour period!
