Sugar makes you stupid

Craving for chocolates? Or is it pudding? A new study reveals how sugar can aid in making a person dumb. Beware.

The trinkets fascinate many people. What is most sweet. Sugary sodas make us hopping for joy. But only that abusemos of them for 6 weeks straight, then we will become more stupid: our brains work slower and boycott our memory and learning (here we exclude
the natural fructose in fruit, which is not harmful and, moreover, is accompanied antioxidants). By contrast, ingesting more omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the negative effect of "overdose" of sugar.

Is suggested by a study published in the latest edition of the Journal of Physiology and conducted by researchers at the University of California. As pointed out by Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, professor of neurosurgery and co-author of the study:

What you eat affects how you think. If compensates by adding omega-3 (walnuts, salmon, etc.). To foods can minimize the damage.

However, we take these results with caution, because by the time the experiment was performed only in rats provided sugar, in one case, or sugars and omega-3, in another, for six weeks.

Before the study, all animals were able to navigate a maze, which contained numerous holes, but only one output. Scientists visual landmarks placed in the maze to help the rats to learn and remember the way. Six weeks later, the researchers tested the ability
of rats to remember the path and escape the maze.

The second group sailed through the maze faster than rats that did not receive omega-3 fatty acids, they were slower and their brains showed a decrease in synaptic activity.
