Is there pal hobby really sweet drink? If so, start now also learn to reduce it. Indeed, weight gain and tooth decay is not the only side effect of drinking sugary drinks. Recent research has found that if sweet drinks can also damage the memory.
In the study presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior in Seattle, Washington, researchers from the University of Southern California found that consuming sugary drinks in adolescence may be associated with memory impairment.
"It's no secret that refined carbohydrates, especially when consumed in soft drinks and other beverages, can cause metabolic disorders," said lead study author, Dr. Scott Kanoski, as reported by Fox News website on Monday (8/9).
"However, our findings suggest that consuming sugary drinks also interfere with the ability of our brain to function normally and recall important information about our environment, at least when consumed in excess before adulthood," said Dr. Kanoski further.
In studies in mice, researchers used beverages sweetened with high fructose corn syrup or sugar cane which mimic the concentration found in soft drinks. After one month, the adult mice showed normal brain but the ability of juvenile mice showed impaired learning and memory.
The researchers noted that not only soda but also apple juice, lemonade, sports drinks and other sugary drinks should be a concern as well. For adults who consume these drinks throughout their lives, the findings of this study may indicate future problems of memory function.
"The hippocampus is a brain region important for memory function. In many ways this region is very sensitive to various environmental factors, including eating foods high in saturated fats and processed sugars," said Kanoski.
