Voodoo Dolls Prove It: Hunger Makes Couples Turn On Each Other
Volunteers with lower levels of blood sugar stuck more pins in voodoo dolls of their spouses than people with higher levels.

A lot of us know what can happen when we get hungry. We get grumpy, irritable and sometimes nasty.
There's even a name for this phenomenon: "Hangry, which is a combination of the words hungry and angry," says psychologist Brad Bushman from Ohio State University.
Many studies have suggested that low blood sugar may be the underlying cause of hunger-induced crankiness. But most of those studies were performed with strangers in the laboratory. Bushman wondered: What about people who get along well, or who even love each other? Does low blood sugar turn even spouses into frenemies?

Aging Well: Keeping Blood Sugar Low May Protect Memory
To figure that out, Bushman recruited 107 couples for a study. He assessed the quality of their relationships and taught them how to measure their blood sugar. Then he sent each volunteer home with something unusual: a voodoo doll and 51 pins.
"We told the participants this doll represented their spouse," Bushman says. "and that every night before they went to bed they should stab the doll with pins depending on how angry they were with their spouse. So the more pins they put in the doll, the angrier they were with their spouse."
After three weeks, Bushman and his team assessed the damage done to each doll. Volunteers who had low levels of blood glucose stuck more pins in the voodoo dolls than those who had high levels of blood glucose, Bushman and his team reported Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
In fact, people with the lowest blood sugar levels stuck more than twice as many pins in the voodoo dolls, compared with people with the highest levels, the researchers found.
The team also wanted to know whether those angry feelings translated into nastier behavior. So they had the couples play a computer game in which the winner got to blast his or her spouse with an awful noise.
"The noise is a mixture of noises that most people hate, like fingernails scratching on chalkboards, dentist drills, sirens," Bushman says.

Cinnamon Can Help Lower Blood Sugar, But One Variety May Be Best
As expected, the lower a person's blood sugar, the more likely he or she was to blast a spouse.
"Regardless of how good somebody's relationship is, when they're hungry, they're more angry, and they stuck more pins in the doll," Bushman says. "And they were more aggressive by giving their partner louder and longer blasts of noise."
Bushman thinks his finding could help people cut back on angry outbursts because they're hungry.
"What we conclude is that glucose is the food for the brain that we need to exercise self-control," Bushman says. "And when people's glucose levels are low, they are poorer at exercising self-control."
Blood sugar is clearly not the only factor involved in whether someone gets angry. But low blood sugar probably makes it harder for the brain to control emotions, says Emil Coccaro, a psychiatrist at the University of Chicago.
"The brain uses only sugar for its energy needs," he says. "So when there's less sugar available, the neurons aren't going to function as well."
Now, Bushman isn't recommending that people keep candy bars around to prevent angry outbursts. Such sweets can cause quick spikes in blood sugar that aren't helpful. But snacks with both carbohydrates and protein might be a good idea.
"The take-home message from this [study] would be to make sure you're not hungry when you talk about important issues with your spouse," Bushman says. "So something like a protein bar would be a really good thing to have before discussing an important issue with your spouse that you might become angry about."
"We told the participants this doll represented their spouse," Bushman says. "and that every night before they went to bed they should stab the doll with pins depending on how angry they were with their spouse. So the more pins they put in the doll, the angrier they were with their spouse."

Reviews for "Join us for a live session filled with surprises on Magic 103 1"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to access the live session of Magic 103 1 as I had heard great things about it. However, I was quite disappointed with the experience. The sound quality was extremely poor, and I could hardly understand what the host was saying. It felt like they were speaking into a tin can. Moreover, the video feed kept freezing and buffering, which made it impossible to enjoy the live session. Overall, I expected a much better experience considering the hype, but it failed to live up to my expectations.
2. Sarah - 3 stars - The live session of Magic 103 1 was an underwhelming experience for me. While the concept and idea behind it were interesting, the execution left a lot to be desired. Firstly, the website where the live session was hosted was quite difficult to navigate and find the desired content. Secondly, the video and audio quality were mediocre at best. The host's voice was often muffled, and the video feed was not smooth, which hindered my overall enjoyment. I appreciate the effort put into organizing the live session, but it definitely needs improvement for a better user experience.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the live session on Magic 103 1, but I was left unimpressed. The content seemed unorganized, and it was difficult to follow the flow of the session. Additionally, the audio quality was poor, and there were moments when it completely cut out. This made it frustrating to engage with the content, and I found myself losing interest quickly. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell flat, and I would not recommend the live session based on my experience.
