High-fructose diets impair memory Adopting a diet rich in
fructose, a form of sugar commonly found in processed foods and
beverages, may result in impaired spatial memory. Previous
studies had reported various health problems such as insulin
insensitivity, type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular
disease following the use fructose, the sweetener commonly found
in table sugar, fruit juice concentrates and high fructose corn
syrup. According to a study conducted in Georgia State
University, high fructose intake can also impair memory in
consumers. It, however, does not influence an individual's
ability to learn. Unlike glucose, high levels of triglycerides
are produced during the digestion process of fructose within the
liver. This fat can subsequently interfere with the insulin
signaling mechanism of the brain, affecting not only the
survival of brain cells but also their ability to change based
on new experiences. Scientists concluded that the high content
of fructose can impair memory. UK warns against tr
