How Giving Up Refined Sugar Changed My Brain

I feel this is... Well, mostly bullshitt.

First, "changed my brain" is a big, big statement and nowhere in the article is being pointed any MRI scan or something.

Going further: I have experienced something similar (the only sugar I take in during the day is that single pack I put in the one daily coffee I take after lunch) yet I did not feel all this troubles. My opinion is that I did not experience all this problems because I was not looking for it.

I think it's mostly bullshit if you generalize the experience of the author for everyone. Anecdotally however, I saw the same improvements to the letter when I stopped sugar intake (not just refined but stopped eating fruits, etc.). I can't remember any withdrawal symptoms though. It was rather easy, but then again I stopped because of diabetes scare.
