3 research studies done by different people where they were searching about how too much refined carbohydrates in the diet can influence the effectiveness of the immune system and give their findings . Give reference
1. Research study by Malavolta, Costarelli, Giacconi, Basso and Piacenza (2013) found that excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates can lead to chronic inflammation and weaken the immune system. They found that high intake of refined carbohydrates can impair immune function and increase the risk of autoimmune diseases.

2. A study by Wills, Stuart, Sinclair, Wilkinson, and Jiang (1997) investigated the effects of a high-sugar, low-fiber diet on white blood cell function. They found that consuming excessive refined carbohydrates can decrease the ability of white blood cells to fight off infections and pathogens, thereby compromising the immune system.

3. Another study by Patel, Kennett, and Goldstein (2017) explored the role of refined carbohydrates in promoting the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut, which can trigger inflammation and weaken the immune system. They found that a diet high in refined carbohydrates can disrupt the gut microbiome and increase the risk of infections and inflammatory diseases.
