RETRACTED ARTICLE: Dishonesty is more affected by BMI status than by short-term changes in glucose

Abstract There is evidence that human decision-making is affected by current body energy levels and physiological states. There is less clear evidence linking decision-making to long-term changes in energy, as those associated with obesity. We explore the link between energy, obesity and dishonesty...
