There is also, apparently, a “nocebo” effect, where otherwise healthy (nondiabetic, non-hypoglycemic) people have been so scared by “demon sugar” that they report various symptoms after consuming it.

(This group, as you might guess, contains mostly women.)

“Sucrosa”

HAH haha haha haha.

(A couple weeks ago I had the “what is a placebo and why is it important” discussion with my gen bio students. I sadly see from the last test some of them still don’t quite get it.)

So, could my good health and general lack of physical complaints be due to the fact that I consume moderate amounts of sugar? Hm.

Of course, I prefer to take mine in cookie form, rather than pill form.

Me, I’d rather have a panacea.
