A lot of the willpower exercise I attempt involves resisting my desire to consume sugary things. It seems counterintuitive to say the least that my inability to resist the products of Reese's has to do with my not having consumed enough Reese's recently.
Interesting point. If glucose really is instrumental to self-control, it would naturally follow that impulses to consume sugar would stand out as unusually difficult to resist.
