Could sugar be making you stupid?


If you’ve got a sweet tooth, it may be nibbling away at your brain power...

New research is suggesting that a sugary-sweet diet, high in fructose, could impair memory. To determine this, scientists used the good old rats-in-a-maze experiment. The four groups of rodents were given different levels of sugar in their diets and, sure enough, the high-sugar group came in dead-last in the rat-race. It seems the fructose interfered with their ability to think clearly, learn and remember.
