Sugars reduce cerebral blood flow--not good for those with already hypoperfused brains. "Overall, the researchers found that glucose significantly reduced cerebral blood flow in the hypothalamus, the thalamus, insula, anterior cingulate, and striatum In contrast, fructose reduced blood flow in the hippocampus, posterior cingulate cortex, fusiform, and visual cortex -- and also in the thalamus." http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DietNutrition/36672
