While trawling through the link to Dr Tolans publications about fructose metabolic breakdown in the brain I found the following link..

"A high fructose diet impairs spatial memory in male rats"

So ladies when your husband is driving and lost but will not admit it its your fault for giving him the Mars bar or chocolates on the trip..OK??

It cannot be his fault he's a man! its the sweets!

So if you want to arrive at your destination have crisps or savory snacks in the car or you might never get there!

Now I wonder if eating sweets is the reason a normally intelligent woman will drive 7 miles on a flat Tyre destroying the Tyre (£80) and ruining the rim (£200+ ) while knowing something is wrong but driving on anyway in the hope it will be OK and get better by it's self???

Or is it because she is a woman??

Tee HEE I can feel the hackles rising from here

I have some bread ready to toast on the flames I will get for this one ;D

"Or is it because she is a woman??"

Bill, I can't believe you said that.

I will agree that sugar is bad for everybody.

OPPPs sorry guilty as charged..

In my defense my daughter can change a car wheel, brake pads etc.. and knows how to service her car.. even if it would never happen if left to her..

It was not my daughter who ruined the wheel by the way.

Sometimes stereotypes have a basis..

Just like us men not being able to multi-task and having to scratch our "bits" in the morning to wake our brains up..or is that only me?

Hay... life is too short not to smile and laugh occasionally

The bread I had ready to toast on the flames is not even slightly brown..
