Don, This book and Nancy Appleton's "Lick the Sugar Habit" both state that sugar damages the immune system, but I don't have them in front of me and wouldn't want to do them the disservice of trying to send any of it from memory. They're both "must read" books. In fact, my wife's reading Sugar Blues now, and I am going to re-read it when she's done. These are both paperbacks and fairly easily available in larger bookstores. Take care, John Pavao ---------- Now my question is for the people that have read Duffy's _Sugar Blues_ or another of the books pointing out problems with sugar. Is there any evidence that sugar also harms the immune system? Do these books only blame refined sugar, or do they also indict honey and maple syrup? Any other foods also depress the immune system? Don. P.S. Please selectively quote when replying.
