Interesting.
I would have bet the sugar would have made your anxiety WORSE.
Strangely, it was the opposite effect. Perhaps a dopamine response or something like that. When I would have a panic attack, night terrors, etc... I wanted a coke, cinnamon roll, pie, cake, something comforting. Since ghosting sugar, I've started going fishing at least once a week. That's always been able to relax me.
