I found the fructose 2.0 video the most interesting of the two. And at one point the guy giving the presentation describes, in short, a mechanism where mechanism where excessive sugar consumption may contribute to schizophrenia.
And here's a pubmed article describing neuro effects of sugar n dopamine.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15987666I've read into my idea on how sugar negatively effects the brain a bit. But basically I'm just putting two and two together. And if sugar does cause hormonal imbalances in the body that lead to health problem. Then it seems Likely an imbalance in the brain could also occur. Whether it's a downstream effect of the hormonal imbalance, or a direct effects of the pleasure we get from sugar. Or bothn
But yeah, I'm going to start my diet trying too avoid any sugar. That's gonna be difficult I'm sure. See how it goes. But then after a bit I'll probably just focus on "no sugar added" foods. Since things like fruit have a good amount of sugar in them. But also a good amount of fiber in them that helps negate sugars negative effects.
