The sugary solution to a poor memory
(Filed: 16/01/2006)
Sugary drinks of the kind condemned by health campaigners and dentists can significantly boost your memory, according to researchers.
A team of psychologists found that a single sugary drink improved memory retention in volunteers by almost 20 per cent.
Leigh Riby, of Glasgow Caledonian University, said his research showed links between the levels of glucose in the body and the brain's ability to make new memories and recall old ones.
"I encourage all my students to have an energy drink before lectures, as it helps them learn more," he said.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/01/16/neat116.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/01/16/ixhome.html
