Fact:
Vitamin C and Sugar are shaped almost exactly the same. Because of this similar shape, both Vitamin C and sugar use the same receptor in order to enter the cells in our body. If you are consuming a lot of sugar in your diet, the sugar out competes the Vitamin C for the receptors and actually blocks this essential anti-oxidant(Vit C) from entering our cells. Vitamin C intake is essential for creating a proper functioning immune system that is capable of fighting off all sorts of unwanted problems. Without it, we become susceptible to infection. In order to maximize your immune function, limit your intake of sugar and maximize your intake of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables! Simple huh.
