We have long known how bad sugar is for teeth, liver and premature ageing. Now researchers even suspect it of triggering dementia, depression and forgetfulness. Is the sweet poison robbing us of our minds?

Studies by nutritionists and neurologists prove that this is a dangerous craving, as high sugar consumption has massive effects on the brain in addition to known risks such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver and kidney failure.
