Medical Tribune, July 10, 1969 - According to England's noted nutritionist Prof. John Yudkin, of the University of London, sugar in particular may be the etiologic factor in atherosclerosis or heart-vessel disease. Sugar is said to raise the blood cholesterol levels, and Dr. Yudkin believes that there is a clearer association between sugar intake and sudden death from heart disease than fat intake and heart disease.
A. Keys noted in the Journal of Nutrition that when the sugar in the American diet (17% of total calories) was replaced by fruits, vegetables and legumes, the following was observed: "It is concluded that sucrose and milk sugar tend to produce higher serum cholesterol values than equal calories of carbohydrate contained in fruits, leafy vegetables and legumes."
"In the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr Ralph R. Steinman points out that sugar affects the hypothalamus. This in turn affects the parotid gland. The combination of influences turn on or off the movement of fluids (stasis). Impairment of movements of fluids in the teeth of experimental animals fed on a high-sugar diet was observed at Loma Linda University by a team of scientists including Dr. Steinman and reported in the source above. It was seen that diets rich in sugar may affect "physiological processes within the tooth in addition to having the local effects of diet and microorganisms upon the surface of the tooth." Dental caries were related to these "physiological processes," and decay was seen in animals where stasis was impaired." In short order, sugar causes tooth decay from the inside out. It's not enough to just brush your teeth after a sugar fest.
"There seems to be direct relationship between the level of blood sugar and white-cell defensive action against infective bacteria. This was reported in 1964."
The study concludes:
1. "In diabetic patients, the higher the blood sugar level the lower is the phagocytic (white cell) index.
2. "In the non-diabetic subjects it was shown that glucose taken orally will raise the blood sugar level after 45 minutes with a resulting decrease in the phagocytic index." - The Journal, Southern California State Dental Association, Vol. XXXII, No. 9, September, 1964. Too much sugar results in too little body defense against bacterial disease. Sugar lowers the immune system.
