Blood sugar concentration increases quicker with simpler sugars and higher surface areas. Increases slower with fats, starches, and lower surface areas. Increases slower when sugars and starches are slurried with fat and other substances.
- Water intake can reduce blood sugar concentration, water excretion can increase blood sugar concentration.
- Caffeine raises adrenaline levels. Adrenaline raises blood sugar levels.
- Increased blood sugar improves visual cognition, but adrenaline as a vasoconstrictor also reduces blood flow to the optic nerve. Elevated blood sugar also damages the optic nerve in the longer term.

The corollaries then appear to be :
- 1. Compounding ( quick-carb AND caffeine ) intake is a health anti-pattern, as this leads to hyperglycemia, followed by hypoglycemia ( symptoms : tremors, sweating, tachycardia, reduced cognitive output ).
- 2. Compounding ( EITHER quick-carb OR caffeine ) intake with water is a health pattern, as these have moderating effects on each other.
- 3. The safer therapeutic use of caffeine is to rectify hypoglycemia, or when temporary hyperglycemia is required for emergencies.
