An intimate link exists between the brain and the metabolism of sugar—one that has too long been UNFORTUNATELY overlooked by the fields of neuroscience and in CLINICAL psychiatry and neuropsychiatry! Congratulation to your renew of this basic mechanism in brain metabolism and in therapy of brain dysfunction!
Glucose is the primary fuel for the human brain, but what happens when the brain is exposed to the excessive added sugars of the standard American diet?

I agree entirely that sugar is the main fuel for the brain - honey, chocolade, etc.
Sugar, in the form of glucose, is the natural fuel for your brain and is essential for brain functioning. It is obtained from carbohydrates; grains, legumes, fruit and vegetables. So completely eliminating sugar from your diet is not recommended. However too much sugar or refined carbohydrates at one time, can deprive your brain of glucose. This reduces your brain’s ability to concentrate, remember, and learn.
