It seems like I've seen a lot of about sugar on here lately, so I thought some might be interested in this from Dr. Mirkin:

From Dr. Mirkin:
"Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center used magnetic resonance imaging to show that even small rises in blood sugar levels can reduce blood flow to the dentate gyrus, the part of the brain that controls memory (Annals of Neurology, December 2008). This may give us the explanation for memory loss that occurs with aging and why exercise helps to prevent memory loss."

The only time I worry about Joonie is when she starts chugging orange juice!
