On a political/cultural Note: Maybe this is why Liberals and progressives can't think correctly.

On a much more serious note: the following info may be of use to those you may know with unfortunate diseases of the brain.

The body cleans the brain of dead matter (neurons and tumors) but, (second link) sugar inhibits this process. Something to consider for those with epilepsy and other brain diseases.

Instead of coming up with potentially harmful drugs...why don't they use nature and natural things to help or encourge the body to do what it can do naturally.


When neurons die, their debris need to be quickly removed in order for the surrounding brain tissue to continue to function properly. Elimination of the neuron corpses, in a process called phagocytosis, is carried out by highly specialized cells in the brain called microglia.

Sugar inhibits this process...ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...
