Brain Shrink

Can sugar make you stupid?

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you could be shrinking your brain. Eating lots of sugary stuff like cake, cookies and candy actually shrinks your hippocampus! That’s the part of your brain responsible for memory and learning. If you do eat lots of sweets – try to get at least some of them from the produce isle. Sweet fruit like peaches, berries and watermelon can actually help your hippocampus heal and grow!
