The article should have been titled “low blood sugar puts one in a bad mood”.

They could have gone with: "Sloppy scientists delude themselves about unlikely hypothesis"

People repeating the fiction that "low blood sugar puts one in a bad mood" puts people in a bad mood when they haven't had sugar in the last twenty minutes. We evolved in a low sugar world and did just fine: or was everyone moody from 200,000 years ago until about a century or two ago?
