We had that TERRIBLE flu this winter and our hospital was on code PURPLE. I had relatives who would have stayed for a day or two after surgery, being told there were no beds and they could recover in "recovery" and then go home.

Despite all this, I never got the flu or the stomach flu that was also going around.

How 'bout you all? Have you noticed a decrease in catching infectious diseases?

I'm curious because I read a research article last year that said when they studied the reaction of sugar on the human immune system, they noticed that the sugar DEPRESSED the immune system and made it more likely for the host (you and me) to get sick. The sugar virtually shut down the immune system temporarily (I think it was several hours). This is certainly enough time to let in all those nasty germs
