The Hidden Brain Killer: The One Food You Must Avoid! Dr. Mandell

Excessive intake of refined and processed sugar has far-reaching effects on the brain that can be both immediate and long-term, making it a hidden brain killer. While sugar is often perceived as a harmless indulgence, the reality is quite the opposite. High sugar consumption leads to spikes and crashes in blood glucose levels, disrupting the balance of key neurotransmitters that regulate mood, such as dopamine and serotonin, which can result in mood swings, anxiety, and even depression. Over time, a diet rich in sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which has been linked to impaired cognitive function and a higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Furthermore, excessive sugar intake triggers a cascade of inflammatory responses in the brain, potentially leading to cellular damage and even cognitive decline. Studies have also shown that high sugar diets can impair memory and learning abilities by interfering with the brain's synaptic communication. Additionally, sugar activates the brain's reward system similar to addictive drugs, prompting cravings and overconsumption that can alter brain circuitry and behavior. In children, excessive sugar intake is particularly concerning as it can lead to developmental issues, attention deficits, and compromised learning capabilities. Therefore, cutting down on or eliminating refined and processed sugars from your diet is crucial for maintaining optimal brain health and overall wellbeing. The hidden dangers of sugar underscore the importance of making informed nutritional choices to protect one of your most vital organs: your brain.

I've stopped eating sugar for about 1 year now. I AM down to 155 lbs from 204 lbs. The foods you can eat is limited to natural foods, the outer isles in the grocery store. If you read labels you will see that everything processed has sugar added. I've never felt better and I am now 68 yrs young. Thank you Dr Mandell for all the info you put out there. Much Love, Light and Peace to all here.

I think high fructose corn syrup is the worst ingredient ever concocted. It should be outlawed in the U.S. Just like other countries.

I am a 51 year old male with a huge sweet tooth. My poor memory has been a concern for many years, so much so that I feel like I have been showing signs of Dimentia for the last several years. I am a subscriber of this channel and when I watched this episode, I had an epiphany. I know now what I must do to try and get my memory and cognitive abilities restored. Thank you AGAIN Dr. Mandell for sharing your knowledge and insight.

My parents didn't let us eat sweets until around Christmas when my mother made pies and bite-sized confections, all homemade. Even then the amounts we ate were rationed. I never had a cavity until I was eleven and I was buying chocolate bars with my allowance. Went off sugar until the drinking years and then the sugar was through beer and sweet cocktails. After that, no sugar again until my current roommate who lives on sugar, is fat, borderline diabetic, etc, had/has sugary cr*p everywhere. He has neuropathy so badly! So I am off sugar again, probably for life. Thank you for this. I don't believe people know how bad it is for your entire body and brain. Cheers! 😊
