Fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup Sabotage Learning and Memory (But Omega 3s Help Boost your Brain!)

By Healthy Darling · October 18th, 2012

Half a heart (Lowest rating) for High Fructose Corn Syrup! If you read my post on the difference between Sugar and HFCS, then you already know I’m not a fan (and if you haven’t read it, click here). In addition to increasing appetite, weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia, we can now add Stupidity as another adverse result of consuming HFCS- “Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain’s ability to learn and remember information,” claims Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science.

Conversely, omega-3 fatty acids can increase your brain’s functionality. In a study where two groups of rats were given fructose, the group that also consumed flaxseeds and DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) clearly out-performed the DHA-deprived group in mazes.

So the next time you cram for an important test, put the candy aside and opt for walnuts, salmon, or flaxseeds instead!

    Yeah! I love flax seeds. I add them to my oatmeal. A lot of people think they are going to be terrible, but they’re quite tasty. Kind of nutty.
