Glucose adversely affects the brain
Scientists warn that foods rich in sugar is not only detrimental to the waistline but can also lead to negative impact on the structure of the brain. Researches before tied rich in sugar diet are overweight, however, recent results have shown how such "diet" can affect the mental abilities of the person.
The team of the Berlin center for medical research found that eating large amounts of sugar and carbohydrates increases the level of glucose in the body, which impairs memory in healthy people, and can potentially lead to dementia. As reported by Scientific American, a new study confirms previous indicating that diabetes can lead to problems with memory and thinking.
The researchers compared the test results of memory test in two groups of volunteers. Fewer points scored, the group with a high level of blood sugar (among whom were diabetics). From the same group showed atrophy of the hippocampus is an important organ in the limbic system of the brain responsible for sleep, storage of information and the processes of life. Despite the findings, the researchers argue that they may not definitely confirm the causal (causal) relationship between the health of the nervous system and a large consumption of sugar. Normal blood sugar, from 3.5 to 5.5 mmol/L. the Sugar contained in fruits is digested easier and faster displays. Therefore it is recommended to consume less white sugar and more organic fructose.
