Hey 3 Beer, how's it goin?
I could be wrong but here goes--
All carbohydrates including bread, pasta and yes-even table sugar are broken down in the gut to Glucose. Glucose is the primary fuel for the brain and body. Table sugar is a more complex molecule than glucose, but they are basically the same.
So to answer your question: No, Glucose pills will no more help you study than taking M&Ms. Try Ritalin or better yet Focalin!
