Effect of Sugar on Libido

[AlwaysThankful]

I try not to eat too much sugar, as I know it causes inflammation in the body, but I was wondering about the direct affect it must have on libido. I found this very interesting article that might be helpful to some here:

If this is true, I don’t know whether my wife would be thrilled with the reduced sugar or irritated with an increased drive which is already high.

I know that if I've had too much sugar, I don't really want sex. I've been attributing that to feeling like a bloated cow. Apparently decreased libido and bloated cow coexist.

Yes, I was going to say, I need to start increasing my sugar intake. Probably need to head to Costco and pick up one of those 25 pound bags.

Those things are great! It takes great discipline to only eat one, or two, or three.....

Shh, don't say that too loud! Dh will be throwing out all of my chocolate.

Seriously though, it sounds plausible. I will take a look at the article.
