Tonight when your trick or treaters come home with all their candy remember that all that sugar they will be eating will lower their immunity and increase their risk of getting sick. There is research that shows the activity of the white blood cells goes down significantly for 4+ hours after eating only a modest amount of sugar.  It's tempting for you, too, to eat some candy.  Be aware, also, that sugar affects your body a little differently than your children.  We become a little more intolerant of sugar when we get older so we store sugar as fat.  BEWARE!!
