  • Regular consumption of sugary drinks like cola, packaged juices, and energy drinks leads to rapid sugar spikes in the blood and brain, causing brain insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress over time.
  • Early exposure to sugary beverages in children is linked to increased risks of attention problems, ADHD, poorer cognitive performance, and lower IQ levels in adulthood.
  • Prolonged high sugar intake negatively affects memory, learning, and information processing, increasing the risk of dementia and cognitive decline.
  • Artificial sweeteners may also contribute to faster cognitive decline, with studies showing memory and thinking impairments in frequent users under 60 years old.
