Sugar has also been shown to cause temporary insanity.  Wintess the
"Twinkie Case", that of Dan White, a Coke and Twinkie addict, who shot
the mayor and a supervisor of the City of San Francisco, while under
the influence of junk food.  The courts determined that he was rendered
temporarily insane by the ingestion of the aforementioned "junk foods",
and was therefore not responsible for his actions.  He has been
acquitted, and is rumored to be living in San Diego.
