The brain, our most energy-demanding organ, uses nearly half of the body’s sugar energy. While natural sources of glucose, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, and nuts, provide essential nutrients, fiber, and vitamins, processed sugary foods like cakes, candies, and sodas lack these benefits and can harm your health.

Join Dr. Penelope McDonnell for an enlightening discussion on how the brain absorbs and utilizes glucose. Learn how excess sugar consumption can impair cognition and overall brain health, and discover practical strategies to identify and reduce sugar intake, empowering you to support better brain function and long-term health. She will address how one person’s response to a serving of sugar can vary dramatically from another’s and touch on how to assess your own body’s unique reaction to different levels of sugar intake.
