Simple sugars, like those you add to coffee or find in soda, can inhibit the ability of phagocytes, or white blood cells, to pursue and devour foreign antigens such as viruses and bacteria--a process referred to as phagocytosis. Hydrogenated or trans fats, present in margarine and common baked goods, can also interfere with metabolism, ultimately disrupting our normal immune processes. Avoiding these sugars and harmful fats, or at least replacing them with more healthful alternatives such as the natural sweetener stevia and olive or canola oils, can improve the body's resistance to illness.
I learned something too, one more reason for me to stop drinking diet cokes! Hope this info answers your question.
