U get sick from eating mucho sugar?

[GOTOGUY]

Well, I did it again. Last weekend went crazy w/ candy and desserts. This week had more candy, peanut butter M&M's. Now I'm sick as a dog with a head cold: running nose, stuffy, post-nasal junk. Anyone else ever get a cold and then say, "Yep, I over-indulged in the sweet stuff!" Sugar is known to lower our immune system. If I know this, how come I did it???????

I always thought you got a cold from going outside with wet hair when it was cold.

You only catch ickies if your immune system is compromised. So there!

Maybe you should go to the Dr. and have your blood tested for Diabetes. If sugar makes you sick then that might be why.

No, I just overdid it on sugar, my immune system dropped, then I got this nasty cold (no fever or anything).
