No no no . . . You’re not supposed to notice stuff like that!! What is wrong with you? /s
Yeah - it became obvious right at the start of this debacle, it isn’t just diabetics, anyone who is “prediabetic” or overweight, metabolic syndrome. Inflammation of organs, all those things affect the immune system very negatively.
Achieving and maintaining a lean body mass or weight means far better health in a lot of ways, and this might be the most important.
Crucially we didn’t hear much, if anything at all, about this. Locking everyone down in their basements while they gorged on Doritos and Mt. Dew didn’t help anybody. Frito Lay, maybe.
