Fortunately, this same study also
derived from sugar cane, beets and
corn – can slows your brain,
hampering your memory and learning.
Fortunately, this same study also
suggests that eating foods that contain nutrients called omega-3 fatty acids –
like walnuts, salmon, flax seeds and
sardines – can counteract these negative effects. The study, headed by neuroscientist Fernando Gomez-Pinilla at the University of
California Los Angeles, focused on high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid
that’s six times sweeter than cane sugar. It’s used in many processed foods, including
soft drinks, condiments, apple sauce and baby food. According to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, the average American consumes more than 40 pounds of high-
fructose corn syrup every year...
