Sugar is
included in many highly processed prepared foods—not just in deserts and
beverages. It is relatively easy for the brain reward system to become attached
to sugar and crave it regularly. For that reason many advocate purchasing
products that assure ‘no sugar added’ (as long as those same products are not
filled with artificial sweeteners, which are believed in many cases to also act
as brain toxins.) So what to eat? Food in as natural state as possible free of
additives. For example, applesauce comes packaged with or without sugar. Eating
an orange as opposed to orange juice is likely a better option, as well,
because the sugar content is lower and the pulp of the orange is present. Read
the ingredients on highly processed packages of prepared foods and you may
cringe when you see how much sugar the product admits to containing. For brain
function, you might want to make a healthier choice. And, by the way, Happy St. Patrick's day!
