Too much sugar makes memory mushy and boggles brain, says new study

You already knew that sugar can expand your waistline and be addicting. Dr. Oz has compared it to heroine and even concocted a detox plan. Now a new study indicates that sugar may also be a bummer for your brain. UCLA researchers used rats to determine whether a high-fructose diet would impact the little rodents' ability to think and solve problems.

"Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said UCLA professor of neurosurgery Fernando Gomez-Pinilla at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in a statement to the media yesterday. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information." The study offers a wake-up call for parents who allow their children to enjoy candy bars, cookies, and other sweet treats.

• Instead of sodas, energy drinks and sports drinks, drink sparkling or still water with a splash of 100% fruit juice or infuse with berries, cucumbers, lemons, limes or mint and slash 27 grams of sugar for each 8 ounce serving.
• Instead of fruit drinks, try brewing some unsweetened tea to keep in your fridge or use to fill up your water bottle. Patricia suggests "fun flavors like pomegranate and acai green tea, chia black tea, ginger pear white tea, or a caffeine-free herbal blend like raspberry lemon."
