After winning election to Congress in 1994, Mr. Sanford voted to impeach President Bill Clinton after his deceptions regarding an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Around the same time, he said he struggled with whether to support Rep. Bob Livingston, who was in line to be House speaker when he acknowledged extramarital affairs. "We as a party want to hold ourselves to high standards, period," Mr. Sanford said during a 1998 interview with the Associated Press.

Past research indicates that self-control relies on some sortof limited energy source. This review suggests that blood glucoseis one important part of the energy source of self-control.Acts of self-control deplete relatively large amounts of glucose.Self-control failures are more likely when glucose is low orcannot be mobilized effectively to the brain (i.e., when insulinis low or insensitive). Restoring glucose to a sufficient leveltypically improves self-control. Numerous self-control behaviorsfit this pattern, including controlling attention, regulatingemotions, quitting smoking, coping with stress, resisting impulsivity,and refraining from criminal and aggressive behavior. Alcoholreduces glucose throughout the brain and body and likewise impairsmany forms of self-control. Furthermore, self-control failureis most likely during times of the day when glucose is usedleast effectively. Self-control thus appears highly susceptibleto glucose. Self-control benefits numerous social and interpersonalprocesses. Glucose might therefore be related to a broad rangeof social behavior.
