    Eating too much sugar can indeed cause cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment is also a type of metabolic disease, which may be caused by the impaired ability of the brain to absorb fructose and convert energy. In addition, high blood sugar can damage blood vessels, leading to hypoxia or insufficient nutrition in the brain. It may also be the reason why diabetic patients are more likely to get cognitive impairment.
