Put the Sugar Down—It’s Making You Dumb

Put the Sugar Down—It’s Making You Dumb

June 15, 2012 // Riot Fest

Remember when your grandparents told you how drinking lots of soda and eating sugar will rot your teeth? Turns out it can also make you dumb. Looks like grandma might have been onto something.

According to MSN, “The scientists gave two groups of rats water laden with high-fructose corn syrup but added omega-3 fatty acids (which protect against damage to brain cells) to one group’s diet. The group without the omega-3s was much slower when it came to running a maze, forgetting much of a route it had already learned.”

And that is why you should not drink Red Bull at a bar or club. It’ll make you forget things. Alcohol has nothing to do with it.
