This is your brain on sugar: UCLA study shows high-fructose diet sabotages learning, memory

My concern is that the way the study is described, it doesn’t mention a control group that did not take sugar.   Maybe there was one but it was not mentioned in the article, which is a typical omission.   If there was not a control group for sugar, then the only thing they proved is that omega-3 fatty acids are good for learning.
