Sugar Makes You Dumb

[Tenet Nosce]

I have been reading the recent flurry of articles about the emerging scientific research which indicates that sugar makes you dumb. This on top of all the established piles of evidence that it contributes heavily to the development of obesity, diabetes, inflammatory conditions, and other chronic health disorders.

So my question is: what should we do about this? Pass laws banning sugar from school lunches? Impose government taxes on sugar? Increase health insurance premiums for sugar users? Write fad diet books forbidding the consumption of fruit and hit up the public speaking circuits? File class-action lawsuits against the manufacturers of sugary snacks? Imprison "sugar dealers" for corrupting our youth? Take children away from parents who condone the consumption of sugar in the household? Bomb nations which support the sugar trade into oblivion? Impose trade sanctions?

I ask because these seem to be the types of solutions which people widely endorse for other things which are shown to be detrimental to public health and society at large.

What do you think?
