... with particular molecules that the body recognizes as foreign. At any given time in the body, there are approximately 2 trillion B cells present.

For these people, eating is a tedious task, as they have to control the sugar and fat levels of every food they ingest. It is why I think that food substitutes come to them somehow like a miracle.
