A lecturer from the University of Wolverhampton, UK, received a grant of ? 25,000 to study the miraculous healing properties of ordinary sugar. Moses Murandu was born in Zimbabwe, and his father also used granulated sugar in the treatment of wounds and cuts to reduce pain and speed up the healing process, according to an online edition for girls and women aged 14 to 35. Pannochka. net Moses Murandu conducted a study in which he studied the effect of sugar on the wounds of patients, and allocated for this work their own funds. It turned out that sugar can be used in the treatment of wounds, ulcers on the legs and even with amputations. It helps to heal the wound and reduce pain, because pathogens need water for reproduction and growth, and sugar absorbs water, causing bacteria to die. Moses Murandu determined that 25% sugar solution leads to the death of microorganisms.
"In the UK, granulated sugar has never been used to treat wounds, although sugar pastes are used. When I was a child, my father always used sugar or salt, and I could not assume that such simple and effective means are not used widely, "Murandu said.. Patients who participated in the study were surprised at the simplicity of the method, which can have such a strong effect on the course of their diseases.
Moses' research was supported by his colleague Malcolm Simms, who had previously worked in Uganda and watched how sugar was used there for medical purposes.
Meanwhile, the effect of taking sugar inside is not so positive. Sugar can have an effect on the brain, similar in many respects to the result of taking drugs. Such conclusions were earlier made by scientists from Princeton University (USA), who studied the effect of sugar in experiments with laboratory rats.
Professor Bart Hobel and his colleagues in the experiments found signs of drug dependence on sugar, in particular, the reaction to the cessation of its intake, similar to the withdrawal syndrome of addicts, the formation of a strong craving for this substance.
"If the excess intake of sugar is indeed a form of dependence, it must cause long-term changes in the brain of the sufferers. Pathological attraction and propensity to breakdowns are the most important components of dependence, and we can demonstrate this behavior in rats, "- said Hobel.
In the Khobel experiment, laboratory animals were accustomed to consuming sugar, and then deprived of it for a long time. When, after a break, the rats again received sugar, they ate it more than ever before, which is typical for the behavior of addicts.
In addition, rats, accustomed to sugar, and then deprived of it, consumed more alcohol than animals from the control group, which also indicates changes in the brain that are similar to those occurring in addicts.
Deprivation of sugar in rats accustomed to it, caused a decrease in the level of the hormone dopamine, and they showed signs of anxiety, anxiety, fear, characteristic of withdrawal symptoms. They refused to go out into the open, they had an instinct that disappeared, prompting them to explore the surrounding space.
