It's exam time (5 more days YIKES!) and I'm fueling my brain (and destroying my pancreas) with the wonders of Calpico. Apparently, if you're studying, you shouldn't eat sugar-free sweets - having real sugar is supposed to be better since your brain uses glucose. My calpico doesn't seem to be working though...
Check out the nutrition facts - evey 500ml gives you about 220 calories and 54g of sugar - I think coke has about 13g of sugar for every 100ml - this is double o_O and I don't even drink normal coke I drink coke zero!It doesn't come cheap though - since it's imported from Japan, the 1.5L bottle will set you back 8 bucks!.And I think the 500ml one costs $3-something. If you want to kill your pancreas, go to either Iseatan or Mediya supermarket - lots of Calpicos there.

Hi,
I noticed that sodium is even at 80mg per 500ml. At this level of toxicity, what will happen this your kidney? ;)
Hi chanced upon your blog and googled about the comsumption of high sugared stuff as brain food and found out from the following website that it's not true!

Worth a read, don't drink anymore of those stuff!
claire: calpis popsicles sounds yummy! maybe i shld freeze my calpis too :D
anon: er my physio not v gd but im quite sure you're kidneys can excrete it unless ur an esrf (but you shouldn't be drinking it) :p so if it doesn't kill ur pancreas, you'll die from kidney failure or hypertension
jackie: lol i thought I'll be doing my brain a favour. I'll keep that in mind the next time i'm mugging hard :)
