Weather of Arabia - Researchers from the German University of Giessen revealed the results of their study, which shows that consuming drinks with added sugars and natural sugars is significantly linked to an increased risk of dementia. In a remarkable shift, this study showed that excessive consumption of drinks with high levels of sugars The additive could contribute to what they called “brain theft,” a term for possible dementia.
According to a report published by the British newspaper The Sun , the study indicated that this association extends to some common drinks such as fruit drinks, flavored milk drinks, and even full-fat soft drinks.
On the other hand, the study indicated that fruit juices, which contain natural sugars, have also been associated with the risk of “brain theft,” but to a lesser extent in comparison. This research highlights the great importance of controlling the consumption of added sugars and carefully looking at the content of the drinks we drink to maintain our health. Brain health and dementia prevention.
Did you know that what you eat and drink can play a big role in your overall health and brain condition?
A recent German study published by the British newspaper “The Sun” showed that excessive consumption of drinks with added sugars is significantly associated with an increased risk of what is known as “brain theft,” a term that refers to the possibility of developing dementia.
A study published in Springer Nature showed that drinking tea and coffee is not associated with an increased risk of dementia at all, while the mystery remains about how increased sugar intake affects the increased risk of developing the disease.
Scientists do not fully know the mechanisms by which increased sugar intake leads to an increased risk of dementia. However, some studies suggest that sugar can cause inflammation, which is thought to play a role in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common type of dementia. Cases.
The researchers analyzed the diets of 186,622 study participants, aged from 37 to 73 years , over a period of ten years, during which 1,498 cases of dementia were recorded. These results highlight the importance of understanding the impact of nutrients on mental health, and indicate the necessity of... Take steps to control sugar consumption and understand its impact on mental health.
Taking into account general health, and taking into account indicators such as body mass index (BMI), marital status, economic situation, and family health history, scientists from the German “University of Giessen” confirmed that consuming beverages containing added sugars and natural sugars “is significantly associated with the risk of developing dementia.” " .
Scientists believe that this contradicts eating foods that contain added or natural sugars, as no “significant association” has been observed between them and cases of dementia. Separate studies have shown that consuming sugar in liquid form is much worse than consuming it in solid foods, and it is likely that the reason is due to Partly because the brain doesn't register calories from liquid sugar in the same way it does with solid foods.
Researchers point out that drinking calories does not elicit the same satiety signals derived from eating solid food, which ultimately leads to eating larger amounts of food and being exposed to the risk of weight gain. In addition, calories from liquid sugar can lead to higher blood sugar levels. And insulin resistance, which may increase the risk of diabetes.
