Drown stress with just two spoonfuls of sugar in tea London: Stressed at work? Fret not, Just have two spoonfuls of sugar in your tea - it'll help anxiety sip sway, says a new study.        Researchers from University of New South Wales and Queensland University found that sweetened drinks make people less aggressive and argumentative as the sugar rush provides the brain with the energy it needs to keep impulses under control, stopping people from lashing out when under pressure.        "When provocation is likely, for example, when encountering a difficult supervisor at a meeting, drinking a sweetened beverage prior to this encounter effectively inhibit aggressive impulses. " Consuming a sweetened beverage prior to thisencounter might increase one's ability to effectively inhibit aggressive impulses. "Consuming a sweetened beverage on the commute home following a stressful day could reduce aggression toward family members or fellow drivers," the researchers said.          They gave lemonade to a group of people. Some was sweetened with sugar, the rest with an artificial sweetener. The volunteers were set a series of stressful tasks, culminating in preparing a speech. After giving their talk, some were provoked by being told the content was boring and disappointing. Those who had drunk the sugary lemonade rose less to the bait.
