It doesn't work: Most people won't have any real effect from taking in simple carbohydrate in any form. Life is too full of other useful things that you could be doing to spend your time reading "pop" internet claims. You may want to avoid excess in refined sugar as people tend to overeat it, and sucrose is rough on the teeth.
