Default Low Blood Sugar Increases Infection Risk

I found this on the Mercola website. I will post the link below. It is a study that a Dr. did in the 50's about the link between low blood sugar and polio infection. He also points out the fact that low blood sugar may also increase the risk of other infections. Reading this study now, it would seem that the Dr. was ahead of his time, but perhaps we are just behind ours.

Thanks, this is valuable info to me, having low blood sugar and a weak immune system. This encourages me to be even more careful about not going too long without eating.

Ha, so very true! It's sad to think how far along we could and should be. I'm going to have to quote you whenever possible!

I love finding old articles and studies. You never know what gems you might find.
