A very ambiguous effect of sweet foods on the body has long been known, reports Rus.Media. Scientists from around the world are trying to understand exactly how sweets affect our body.

Now a contribution made by the Danish researchers from Copenhagen University.

The experiment involved twelve healthy men. Within two weeks they daily intake of 225 grams of sugar. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, the researchers measured indicators of blood circulation in the legs of subjects.

The results were more than revealing. After the daily consumption of sugar the blood flow in the lower limbs decreased by 17%. The measurements were carried out when the volunteers sat on a chair and raised the leg. Scientists themselves believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and sugar consumption, even in seemingly relatively small amounts with a negative impact on the work of such important organs as the heart and brain.

“A pint when from time to time will not cause you any harm if you eat healthy foods and to eat a balanced diet,” says one of the study’s authors, Professor Yulva, Hellsten.

The recovery of the body of experimental took two weeks, this, in turn, gives hope that the normalization of the power may help the millions of people who suffer from a number of serious diseases.
