"  We were all over it when we read that watching re-runs helps you resist temptation. Because an excuse to watch more TV? Yeah, we&amp;#039;re there. But we&amp;#039;re not so sure about the latest study on self-control. According to research from the University of Georgia, people are better at resisting the temptation to be lazy after they\u2026gargle sugar water. In the study, researchers had students perform two tasks to test their self-control. The first involved crossing out the letter E on a page from a statistics book\u2014fun!\u2014which typically depletes your self-control (and probably makes you feel pissed off). Then, they were asked to ID the color of different words that flashed on a screen, which spelled out the names of other colors.  Before doing the tasks, half of the students rinsed their mouths with sugary lemonade, while the other half rinsed with Splenda-enhanced lemonade.  What they found: The ones who rinsed with sugar were a lot faster and did better at the second task. Why? Apparently glucose stimulates sensors on our tongues which sends a signal to your brain to stay focused and in control. So basically, if you want to do a great job at writing that work presentation that you left until 5 p.m. on Friday to tackle, you should rinse your mouth out with lemonade. Hmm. Think we&amp;#039;ll pass. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
