I wonder how related it is to claim[0] that mental disorders are caused by metabolic disorders of the brain. Does it mean that sugar is like oxygen to fire and your brain just "burns" faster?

- zxexz 2y agoI think such analogies are useful and have their place, but I’d be super cautious about taking it anywhere near that far. Reducing something as complex as mental health to a redox reaction is definitely more than a bit…reductive.
- mpreda 2y agoReally, "oxygen to fire" is a bad metaphor for sugar for anybody remotely aquinted with chemistry. Why not "gas to fire" or "hay to fire" or even.. "sugar to fire", instead?
