my daughter’s doctor told her that sugar suppresses the immune system for 72 hours

Sugar causes AIDS!

J/K, but I'd like to know what the doctor meant by that, since if it's true, nobody in the US would have a functional immune system.

Everything in moderation.

The Dr. is right . . . .

“One of sugar’s major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system. This is not something you want to take place if you want to avoid disease.”
