Sugar often carries a blanket negative health connotation. But our brains need carbohydrates for everyday energy.

The term “sugar” is often used in a broad and imprecise manner, often encompassing a wide range of carbohydrates — without distinction. This oversimplification overlooks the nuanced roles and effects of different types of carbohydrates on our health.

In this episode, we aim to dissect and clarify these complexities, focusing on:

• What sugar actually is, and how it affects our brains in different ways depending on how we consume it

• The critical role of carbohydrates for our health, and the differences between various forms and their impacts

• Whether sugar is really as addictive as drugs

We explore the history of sugar, and discuss how it ended up in almost everything we see on supermarket shelves.

Plus, we speak to Dr Alan Flanagan, an esteemed nutrition scientist and founder of Alinea Nutrition. His insights shed light on the current scientific understanding of sugar and carbohydrates, providing a deeper analysis of their implications for our well-being.

‘Your Brain On’ is hosted by neuroscientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.

An excellent podcast/resource

The podcast is beautifully put together, with multiple interviews from specialists in their field. It’s a great listSherzais love the deep scientific dives with supporting literature. Particularly enjoyed the Love and Sugar episodes so far; great to view the body holistically. Well done to the Sherzais for creating such an excellent podcast.
