The Opposite of Brain Food

[forsyth]

I've learned at least one thing from my classes. Maybe it's just because I've been trying to eat healthier in general lately, or maybe I've just started to notice it more, but things with too much sugar seem to crash my brain. Especially on an emptyish stomach. I'm not sure if it's the sugar rush shorting out my neurons, or just the "crap, all gone" crash afterward, but it makes me end up feeling stupid and unable to recall things I knew before. Maybe my general swearing off of caffeine and soda and trying to eat healthier has ruined my body's defenses to sugar. Or maybe it's just time for me to start weaning myself off sugar, too.

Yes.
Also, too much sugar high/low swinging can provoke the onset of diabetes if you're otherwise vulnerable at all. (Or even if you're not.)
