The therapist stated in an interview that in the case of too large doses of sugar eaten, deterioration of intelligence may occur.
The doctor said that craving for sweet, carbohydrate-rich food and eating it without restrictions has a negative effect on a person's intellectual abilities.
"When a person eats a lot of carbohydrate food, candies, pies, ice cream, his brain, namely neurons, is constantly bombarded with sugar and carbohydrate spikes. In this state, the brain's productivity decreases," the therapist noted.
The doctor added that the state of the brain during sugar abuse can be compared with the state of the brain at the level of average alcohol intoxication.
The doctor specified that excessive consumption of sweets and carbohydrates can be determined by the lack of tone - a person not only understands worse, but also loses energy, complains of lethargy, drowsiness. According to the therapist, the brain center responsible for daytime activity is deactivated when the blood sugar concentration is high.
