I've actually read that too much sugar is one of the things that's been causing so many people to become hypoglycemic....

Hypoglycemia? Well, since I can't exactly find the words to describe it, here's something I copy/pasted from the Hypoglycemia Support Foundation's Website: In simple layman's language, hypoglycemia is the body's inability to properly handle the large amounts of sugar that the average American consumes today. It's an overload of sugar, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and stress.
In medical terms, hypoglycemia is defined in relation to its cause. Functional hypoglycemia, the kind we are addressing here, is the oversecretion of insulin by the pancreas in response to a rapid rise in blood sugar or "glucose".
All carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits and grains, as well as simple table sugar), are broken down into simple sugars by the process of digestion. This sugar enters the blood stream as glucose and our level of blood sugar rises. The pancreas then secretes a hormone known as insulin into the blood in order to bring the glucose down to normal levels.
In hypoglycemia, the pancreas sends out too much insulin and the blood sugar plummets below the level necessary to maintain well-being.
Since all the cells of the body, especially the brain cells, use glucose for fuel, a blood glucose level that is too low starves the cells of needed fuel, causing both physical and emotional symptoms.

Come to think of it, I've been told I act like a drunk person when I drink soda XD H2 saw me hyper the other day... she looked shocked O.O I kept singing random songs and whacking people. I also laugh at every little thing and can't seem to keep my mouth shut for more than 5 seconds (slight exaggeration). But I also got emotional, especially when I finally had the "sugar crash", and I ended up being all "omg life suck--WHEE A COMPUTER MATT LOOK A COMP-- omg life su--HAPPY FUN TIME YAYYYYYY!!!!" O.o Then again I am probably only posting this because I am on a mild sugar high right now XD
back to the topic.... I AM CAFFIENE GIRL! FEAR MY AWESOME LASER BEAMS OF MOUNTAIN DEW AND CHOCLATE COATED GIRAFFES! >D
