The bad news about sugar consumption keeps coming – this time it's being linked to potential brain damage.
A new study on rats led by an Australian research team found that the ones which were exposed to high sugar intakes had problems with brain development similar to what would be expected if they had experienced stress and trauma.
The co-author of the report Professor Margaret Morris tells Jesse Mulligan we need more research on the harm sugar can do to the brain.
Professor Margaret Morris is chair and Head of Pharmacology, School of Medical Sciences at the University of New South Wales.
