A member asked:
Why does vaginal candida itch more after eating too much sugar? i thought "yeast loving sugar" was a myth made up by alternative medicine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not a myth: Candida likes warm, moist, highly glycogenated tissues which is why Diabetic patients are more severely affected.
