Today was day 47 for me with no sugars in my drinks as I have only been drinking water. Today I had to take a 3 hour drive (1 way) to do some things. I stopped at McDs and got an egg mcmuffin, bacon, egg, cheese mcgriddle and a small DECAF coffee. I had them put sugar and cream in it. (I thought a little sugar won't hurt me). I was driving down the interstate in a happy mood listening to happy music and enjoying my day. About 10 minutes after drinking the coffee I became MAD/angry. Not over anything or at anyone but I just became mad. This lasted about 20 or so minutes then came the sugar crash and I became very tired and almost wanted to pull over and take a nap. (The anger disappeared at this time as well). I slept a good 8 hours last night and yet this happened. So it lead me to think that the sugar made me mad/angry then of course the crash from the sugar "high". Now I'm really wondering what is in "sugar". I know that many sweeteners are made from corn and the corn is GMO (genetically modified). When I was in Kenya, East Africa I used to chew on sugar cane and I never became mad. I'm going back to that McDs tomorrow and find some labels on the sugar and coffee. And no I will not be ordering another cup of coffee. I just had the thought of what this system of high and low must do to our bodies. No wonder when I was drinking sugary drinks all the time I was tired. I bet my body was worn out from the constant change of high and low and trying to adjust.
Sure, I can understand if I only had a sugar high and the drop but why the sudden anger? I mean I was pissed but not at any particular person or reason just pissed. I caught myself and decided to remember what was happening.
I think I may wait a week then buy that same cup of coffee but have my own known to be real sugar to put in it and see if the same thing happens or what results I get.
