Sugarfree — “Is It Free of Sugar or Is the Sugar Free?”

Sugar consumption can lead to a spike in blood sugar levels and create abnormal blood flow patterns in the brain. Excessive sugar consumption can also lead to oxidative stress which in turn leads to moods, depression, poor memory, low concentration, and slower thinking.

Basically, your brain will underperform and you won’t even know why.

To control your sugar intake, I’d suggest journaling your food choices for a day or two. By being extra vigilant, checking labels, and even avoiding processed food, you’ll be off to a good start.
