As reported by the Telegraph, drinking sugary drinks over in a certain long period could lead to hyperactivity and change hundreds of proteins in the brain. Based on the recent research that the carbonated drinks can also increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, prostate cancer, muscle weakness, and many other diseases.
Recent studies have focused on the effects on the brain rather than the entire body. On the research conducted by researchers which involved the mice were fed sugary water. The research has shown that these rodents became hyperactive after drinking the water. Then, the tissue taken from one part of the mice brain, indicated that experienced changes in 300 different proteins.
Jane Franklin, a researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney said, warning to the public to be improved, so as not to over-consume sugary drinks. She further urged that the carbonated drinks suggested consumed for pleasure (as necessary and once in a while). "If you are thirsty, drink water. Soft drinks should be enjoyed in moderation," she said.
She added, that drinking too many soft drinks can affect the chemical composition of the brain as well as the waist in humans. Based on research conducted by Swedish scientists last year found that drinking just one glass of soda a day can increase a person's chance of developing prostate cancer about 40 percent. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TELEGRAPH | DAILYMAIL | JAM | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 21112013]
