Covid-19 Update: For a Strong Immune System, Avoid High Fructose

RVAchironeuro • March 5, 2021

Hello again friends:

I sincerely hope everyone is doing well, and here is some information that can help you keep your immune system strong and able to fight off viral and other infections. The title of the article says it all:

High fructose diets harm the immune system (1)(2)

Here are some highlights:

  • A new study suggests that eating a diet high in the sugar fructose may cause the immune system to become inflamed. 
  • This process produces more reactive molecules, which are also associated with inflammation.
  • Inflammation can damage cells and tissues and lead to disease.

And in summary, they state:

These findings highlight the importance of the microenvironment in shaping the innate immune response and could form the foundations of investigations for therapies in areas as diverse as cancer and infectious diseases.

Bottom Line: What these researchers mean by the microenvironment includes dietary elements, like fructose in this instance, have significant and powerful effects on inflammation through effects on the immune system and related biochemical processes. In other words, eating fructose induces inflammation and alters immune function that favors the induction of disease, degeneration as well as an internal environment that reduces immune capabilities against infectious agents…it just makes us weaker and sicker. Based on this research, the consumption of fructose can aggravate, perpetuate or cause chronic inflammation which can aggravate, perpetuate or cause every known human ailment. This then leads to the creation of one or more co-morbidities (the simultaneous presence of one or more chronic conditions or diseases), and this greatly increases the risk of Covid-19 infection and severity.

Friends don’t let friends consume high fructose corn syrup!!! Be on the lookout for it and do not consume it! Where do you find it? In P R O C E S S E D foods and drinks of all types…so to make it simple, just avoid processed foods and drinks.

Don’t forget:  “With COVID-19, we have not just been fighting a communicable disease alone but also a growing backdrop of non-communicable diseases (NCDs; such as diabetes and obesity) that have needlessly raised the death toll.” (3)

Health News Update: Pesticides, Cancer & Why Go Organic 6.29.26 Hello everyone: Slowly but surely, despite the health and food industries downplaying the risks, evidence is emerging that the long-term consumption of trace amounts of toxic chemicals can add up to some serious health consequences. “Our process-based model, encompassing 31 key pesticide active ingredients, together with an innovative stratification of cancer cases by developmental lineage, reveals a robust spatial association between environmental pesticide exposure risk and cancer incidence. In pesticide-associated cancer hotspots, exposomic profiling of liver tissue—a primary target of chemical carcinogens—uncovers a distinct transcriptomic signature of pesticide exposure, implicating a non-genotoxic mode of action that disrupts core regulatory circuitries sustaining cell identity. Collectively, these findings strongly support a mechanistic link between pesticide exposure and cancer, challenging assumptions of human non-carcinogenicity derived from reductionist experimental models. This study redefines the exposome as a lineage-conditioned, mechanistically tractable framework and shows how complex pesticide mixtures can contribute to carcinogenic trajectories, with profound and far-reaching implications for global health policy and socio-ecological equity.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s44360-026-00087-0 pesticide exposure & cancer risks Bottom Line: Whenever possible, purchase your food from organic sources including local farmers that use regenerative and organic practices. Not all foods need to be organic, and to decide which ones absolutely need to be, you can access the Environmental Working Group’s yearly list of the Dirty Dozen foods that are the highest in pesticide residues. This will also include the Clean 15 foods that do not need to be organic as they are usually grown without or with very low pesticide levels. https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php dirty dozen food guide Additionally, high quality nutrients support the natural detox processes our bodies use to get rid of any and all toxins. When we consume the Standard American Diet or Westernized Diet, we are low in the nutrients and co-factors needed to support optimal detox cleansing. So always start with food upgrades as they will carry your upgrade the farthest. Remember that most chronic health conditions start 20 years before you even notice them creeping up or becoming diagnosed. What you do now is creating your future. It used to be said that you are what you eat. Another way to say that is we become what we eat…so please take good care and make sure you always put high grade fuel into your Temple.
