Is your sweet sugar habit interfering with your brain power?? It’s a compelling question, which is the subject of this Episode and a Research Project.

Scarlett, an Australian Student in Year 11, reached out to Cathy for some help with her Project. She wanted to Interview Cathy, but due to time zone differences, an Interview was not possible. However, Scarlett gave Cathy permission to use her interview questions for this Episode, thereby giving Podcast listeners the benefits of her valuable Research Project! Thank you, Scarlett!

Cathy answers all of her questions, which include the effects of sugar on the body and the brain, why sugar can affect a person’s cognitive function, the various types of sugar and each of their effects, and what other food or drinks (substances) can have a similar effect. Kudos to Scarlett for choosing such an important High School Research Project!
