Suppressed Immunity

When it comes to your health and well-being, another reason to avoid too much sugar is the fact that it can suppress the immune system.

Excess sugar in the system can lead to suppressed immunity, and can therefore negatively impact the way that your body fights infection and disease.

Not only that, but sugar can actually put you at a greater risk of infection and illness as sugar can serve as a food source for bacteria and yeast in the body, resulting in a build-up of these organisms and an increased risk of illness and infection.
