Sugar Makes You Dumb

[Tenet Nosce]

With regards to people wanting to be dumb, I think there is a simple answer: third density encompasses those 'new' to the density, and those about to leave via the harvest. The full spectrum. It is the density of choice, a fast track, masterclass in soul experience.

Yes, I think you are right about that, and your point well-illustrates the conundrum of governance in a "free society." Given that there is such a wide swath of wisdom and experience from which people may draw from- it is truly in the best interests of all to place such high emphasis on "equality" and moving toward a political system where every little thing gets tried in the court of public opinion, where "everybody gets to vote" is applied down to the minutest detail, and where decisions are made solely upon whatever view happens to be the most popular? Is it wise or desirable to build a society based on the notion of the "Appeal to Majority", which is a known logical fallacy?

Now I will imagine some folks, having read the above paragraph, will balk and have a knee-jerk negative reaction to the mere suggestion that "equality" shouldn't be the end-all-be-all measurement of a given society's progress. But before launching into the text walls, I would simply ask one to consider: Why the knee-jerk reaction? Could it possibly be a form of psychological programming? If so- where did it come from? As a side question- why is it the case that the mainstream media's programming format of choice appears to be competitions where everybody gets to vote on who is the winners and losers? Or another- why is it that American children are being taught in school that we live in a "democracy" when we, in fact, live in a republic?

That being said, is there something inherently wrong with trusting the governance of a people to those individuals who have demonstrated themselves to be the most wise and/or compassionate? Is it really in the best interests of the masses for them to be self-governed? Wouldn't it be fair to say that the ability to govern is predicated, at least to some degree, upon the ability to respond to rationality, and perhaps even the ability to see beyond superficial appearances?

Just some non-sugary food for thought!

P.S. Do you have a link to the studies regarding sugar consumption and I.Q?

Yes! Here is a link to the full study. Abstract below:

We pursued studies to determine the effects of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) on brain, and the possibility of modulating these effects by dietary interventions. In addition, we have assessed potential mechanisms by which brain metabolic disorders can impact synaptic plasticity and cognition. We report that high-dietary fructose consumption leads to an increase in insulin resistance index, and insulin and triglyceride levels, which characterize MetS. Rats fed on an n-3 deficient diet showed memory deficits in a Barnes maze, which were further exacerbated by fructose intake. In turn, an n-3 deficient diet and fructose interventions disrupted insulin receptor signalling in hippocampus as evidenced by a decrease in phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its downstream effector Akt. We found that high fructose consumption with an n-3 deficient diet disrupts membrane homeostasis as evidenced by an increase in the ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids and levels of 4-hydroxynonenal, a marker of lipid peroxidation. Disturbances in brain energy metabolism due to n-3 deficiency and fructose treatments were evidenced by a significant decrease in AMPK phosphorylation and its upstream modulator LKB1 as well as a decrease in Sir2 levels. The decrease in phosphorylation of CREB, synapsin I and synaptophysin levels by n-3 deficiency and fructose shows the impact of metabolic dysfunction on synaptic plasticity. All parameters of metabolic dysfunction related to the fructose treatment were ameliorated by the presence of dietary n-3 fatty acid. Results showed that dietary n-3 fatty acid deficiency elevates the vulnerability to metabolic dysfunction and impaired cognitive functions by modulating insulin receptor signalling and synaptic plasticity.
