They say sweets stimulate the brain. But experts at the University of California at Los Angeles say the exact opposite.. They conducted an experiment and this is what they found out, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net It turns out that sweet not only does not help to think, but on the contrary - it interferes! Excessive consumption of sugar can reduce the ability to remember information.

Such conclusions were made by experts during the experiment on laboratory animals.. Scientists gave rats a solution of high fructose corn syrup for 6 weeks. At the same time, half of the rodents were additionally fed with omega-3 fatty acid, which stimulated the brain..

Before the start of the experiment, for 5 days, scientists placed rats in the same maze so that they learned to look for a way out and memorized the moves.. After the end of the experiment, the animals were placed there again..

Professor of neurosurgery Fernando Gomez-Pinilla (Fernando Gomez-Pinilla) announced the conclusions: the rodents who received omega-3 syrup along with the syrup moved more slowly than before the start of the experiment, could not remember how to get out of the maze, but the rest were completely lost in search of a way out.

Rats fed only syrup developed resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood glucose levels and is responsible for the functioning of brain cells..

In other words, maintaining a high blood glucose level for a long time impairs the brain's ability to perceive new information and remember the received data.. “Our study shows that excessive fructose consumption harms the brain as well as the body.. The results show that what we eat affects the way we think,” Gomez-Pinill explained..
