Sweeteners threaten with diabetes and heart disease



Experts in the field of healthy eating told why dietary soda is dangerous for a diet. Like harmless sweeteners disrupt metabolism and wear out enzymes that protect us from diabetes.

Nowadays, artificial sweeteners can be found everywhere, but science has not yet formed a consensus on whether they are useful or harmful. Sweeteners are synthetic (for example, saccharin or aspartame), or natural (stevia), that is, extracted from plants. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved 6 varieties of artificial and two types of natural sweetener for use in food. Aspartame contains almost 6,000 foodstuffs consumed worldwide, and the American Diabetes Association officially recommends dietary soda as an alternative to those containing real sugars.



However, medical research shows that sweeteners make their sad contribution to the development of chronic diabetes and cardiovascular diseases like real sugar. The problem with these seemingly non-calorie substances is that they are not digested during digestion into natural sugars such as glucose, fructose and galactose, subsequently used to produce energy or to be processed into fat. Sweeteners produce various by-products that do not turn into calories. For example, aspartame passes through a different metabolic process and does not become normal sugars. There is evidence that sweeteners affect healthy metabolic processes.

Long-term use of sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Aspartame reduces the activity of the enzyme in the intestines, providing protection from diabetes. A sweetener deceives the body, which for sweet taste in the mouth expects to receive something high-calorie. As a result, the metabolic system is called dysregulated. In addition, sweeteners alter brain activity associated with eating sweet foods.

Schizophrenia affects the whole body, not just the brain

Schizophrenia is considered a mental disorder affecting how a person thinks, feels and behaves.  However, a new study, which one of the authors of the work Toby Pillinger (Toby Pillinger) briefly reports in The Conversation, shows that in other organs there can be changes with the onset of the disease. Scientists have long known that people with schizophrenia are ill (different physical ailments) much more often than the general population and that this generally increases the likelihood of premature death.  So, according to statistics, patients with schizophrenia live on average 15-20 years less than ordinary people. However, the negative impact on physical health was considered most often as a side effect.  It is noted that antipsychotics, for example, are associated with an increased risk of obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes.  In addition, factors related to lifestyle can also influence: perhaps a person suffering from a mental disord...

Laws that the British Queen may violate

Queen Elizabeth II , of course, does not have absolute monarchy power, but it is secured by some liberties that any other British citizen does not have. These common laws and rules without consequences  the British queen  have the right to violate. Passport The absence of a passport from the Queen does not prevent her from freely traveling or solving formalities that require the availability of this document. She can not pass a passport to herself, because this document in the UK, as a rule, is issued directly on behalf of Her Majesty. To cross the border, Elizabeth II simply presents any bill where her portrait is printed. Surname The royal family in the past did not have a surname, because its members simply did not feel in need of it, using their own names and names of dynasties. In 1917, King George V legalized the name of Windsor for the royal family, but Elizabeth II and her close relatives, in fact, did not need anything. Rights To drive the car Elizabeth II...
