The question would be: Which one would be the cause and which one is the effect?
I am diagnosed with ADHD and I consume unhealthy amounts of sugar in form of chocolate, gummy bears and ice cream. I wonder if...
A) all that sugar creates a gut microbiome that facilitate ADHD symptoms or if
B) the general impulsiveness and higher-than-usual glucose demand from the brain create the sugar cravings, or if
C) it's some kind of feedback loop and bad habits get reinforced to the point of addiction
- triggercut 4y agoSugar helps fuel a nervous system that is lacking energy from constant stress and overwhelm. Chocolate will release serotonin but you need to binge quite a lot of it.
