I just came across this article published on 16 August about the study of effect sugar has on the brain. In particular they seem to have discovered that it isn't passive as they though, but seeks sugar.
Of interest:
Our results showed for the first time that essential metabolic and behavioural processes are not regulated via neuronal cells alone, and that other cell types in the brain, such as astrocytes, play a crucial role," explains study leader Matthias Tschöp from the Technical University of Munich.
"This represents a paradigm shift and could help explain why it has been so difficult to find sufficiently efficient and safe medicines for diabetes and obesity until now."

It will be interesting to see what develops from this research.
