Fruit juices, contrary to popular belief, should not be drunk, because they contain too much sugar, a recent study of scientists from the University of Banbor, in North Wales, says The Daily Mail.

Hans-Peter Kubis of the School of Sport and Health at the university proposes to impose a tax on sugar in order to stop the development of the disaster, and change the official recommendations about the juices. The study showed that sweet foods can greatly change the taste preferences, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net It is with this fact that an expert associates the growth in the number of people suffering from obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here we can talk about the formation of a vicious circle associated with sweet foods and drinks. As the indicators of taste satisfaction decrease, the volume of consumption of sweet foods grows, specialists.

Scientists call on parents to give their children water instead of fruit drinks, because even natural juices, like fizzy drinks, are too sweet and contain an excessive amount of sugar.

The scientists backed their findings with the results of the experiment. So, slender and obese people were asked to evaluate their perception and the degree of pleasure experienced from consuming sweet and salty foods. As a result, the evaluation of the complete people was as follows: the proposed drinks are not so sweet. But for slender people, the drinks were sweet.

During later experiments, the researchers analyzed the subconscious preference for sweet food, using a computer test. It turned out that the full participants of the experiment showed a stronger preference for sweet.

The verdict was the following: full people had a reduced sensitivity to sweet taste, but subconsciously chose exactly the sweet foods. In order to test how the consumption of sugary foods is reflected in this fact and whether it is possible to recreate the perception of the taste of obese people in people with normal weight, the researchers recruited a group of 12 slender volunteers who usually did not drink sugary drinks.

For four weeks they were offered to include in their diet sweet drinks. As a result, they managed to approach the indicators of obese people - the effect of reducing the acuity of perception of sweet and reducing the pleasure from the consumption of sweets was recorded.
