Article: Sugar can make you dumb

Eating too much sugar can eat away at your brainpower, according to US scientists who published a study Tuesday showing how a steady diet of high-fructose corn syrup sapped lab rats' memories.

Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) fed two groups of rats a solution containing high-fructose corn syrup -- a common ingredient in processed foods -- as drinking water for six weeks.
 
What was that movie where the two people wake up in the future and everyone is stupid. They were frozen and there was a black president. LOL epic lols but yea i guess if this is true we are on track.

Makes you wonder if we are watching our future via movies at times.

Sugar juice instead of water?? Are the scientists stupid already?? Osmosis depends heavily on viscosity variance, no?

Idiocrazy

I have a high sugar diet, I don't think it's going to really eat away at my brain.

I think what might be the real brain killer is over consumption of energy, and not enough exercise... Fat mice don't wanna run around, and unfit mice don't have great blood flow... the brain loves bloody :p...

The trouble is we are still in generation where fresh produce is readily available but compare what we eat now to what people ate in 1970, practically everything but fresh produce and some meats are processed. Look at some of the fattest countries, the UK and the USA have something like 1/3 obesity and 2/3 over weight, i think we are high up there as well(SA that is). I wonder if those figures would have been around if we still ate like it was 1970. Possible because they never ate that well either but they didn't have to access to as much as we do. The scary thing is crap food is cheaper than good healthy food. Makes sense though, cheaper to make the processed shyte.
 
That's because High Fructose Corn Syrup is crap and was not meant to be used as a flavouring for anything! :sick:
 
So? Just becoz rats get dummer it doesnt mean it makes peeple dummer. Those moran sciences need to get a clue
 
People are slowly realising that sugar is a poison, especially at the level's we're consuming.
