I wonder how related it is to claim[0] that mental disorders are caused by metabolic disorders of the brain. Does it mean that sugar is like oxygen to fire and your brain just "burns" faster?
I think such analogies are useful and have their place, but I’d be super cautious about taking it anywhere near that far. Reducing something as complex as mental health to a redox reaction is definitely more than a bit…reductive.
Really, "oxygen to fire" is a bad metaphor for sugar for anybody remotely aquinted with chemistry. Why not "gas to fire" or "hay to fire" or even.. "sugar to fire", instead?
