Great! Well, at least cancer isn't mentioned, at least not yet.
A University of California team tested how well rats navigated a maze, one group fed normally, the other loading up on high-fructose corn syrup. The sugary rats rolled around the maze in a daze and appeared to be more interested eating the maze than in running through the thing.
Early research fingers fructose in diabetes, obesity and fatty livers. This study is first to add brain damage to the list. The culprit may be an insulin-inhibitor affect. Insulin is a hormone needed to regulate cell storage of sucrose energy for top-level functioning.
Sweet sodas and fructose-laden candy are toxic waste to the brain and people are killing their limited IQ loading-up on them.
So, may we assume obese people are getting stupid along with the plethora of other medical issues they suffer? Sure. Diabetics are known to have degenerative vascular and brain function, no doubt connected to their insulin problems.
Should the nanny state step in to stop the carnage? No. Let the fat, sugar addicted be forewarned. And let whats left of their brain power kick in to save them. Or not.
