Self-Control Relies on Glucose as a Limited Energy Source (2007)

Can someone point out where in the paper they address the objection that a declining level of glucose doesn't necessarily indicate glucose was "used up"? Maybe some endocrinological mechanism (like insulin) simply triggered the uptake of glucose into various cells somewhere in the body.

People cannot be in an excited state, like suppressed arousal of various kinds, without the body being involved.

This and many other points are left unaddressed by the authors. They fall at the first hurdle, so I hope this discussion can move on to some of the other interesting things people have mentioned.
