You’ve probably heard that sugar can cause weight gain and you probably generally avoid it so you don’t pack on the pounds, but the reality is that sugar affects more than just your waistline.  Sugar is now being linked to affecting the brain and neurological diseases like:

  • ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Epilepsy
  • Alzhimer’s
  • Mood Disorders

It’s not just table sugar either, grains can cause the same rise in blood sugar and effects on the brain.  So it’s not just your waistline anymore…sugar can be very addictive.  The addiction is even being compared to that of drugs like heroine.  Check out the TED video below on how sugar affects the brains and check out the book “Grain Brain” for more info on how grains can affect your brain.
