Persistently condemned recently, sugar can be useful for healthy functions of the circulatory system, as well as immunity. Why not completely abandon the sugar, scientists from Bonn University.

Researchers from Germany came to the conclusion that sugar can help in the fight against atherosclerosis - a pathology in which on the inner walls of arteries plaques containing cholesterol are formed, which breaks their conductivity and provokes deviations in the work of the heart and brain. In their opinion, the components of sugar can inhibit the development of new atherosclerotic plaques in the vessels and reduce the old. During experiments in mice, hypodermic injections of carbohydrates included in the sugar of cyclodextrins led to a 45% reduction in the size of old cholesterol plaques.

Rodents were fed high-fat fodder. According to scientists, excess fat was deposited in blood vessels in animals in the form of cholesterol crystals, with the appearance of which in the body triggered an inflammatory reaction. However, when sugar components were introduced into the body of animals, the immunity was activated and the process of "treatment". "Cholesterol crystals liquefied at the same time the level of inflammation decreased and the elimination of fats became more intense," the authors of the project.

Scientists have determined that the action of the carbohydrate cyclodextrin increased the activity of the gene LXR, thanks to which the utilization of fats by the organism occurred faster. Doctors believe that the same method can be used to treat patients with diabetes of the second degree. Through the sugar carbohydrate of cyclodextrin, activation of immunosuppressors can be triggered, which destroy harmful bacteria in the human body - this will eventually contribute to a more intensive removal of sugar from the body of diabetics, they say..
