More sweet you eat, less life you got!

Welcome again in the Sciance News Section.

Scientists from University of California, San Francisco find out that even small amount of the glucose (sugar) shortens lifespam of the worms (C. elegans). Some time ago scientists discovered a set of genes that extended the lifespam of the worms. Those genes are responsible for dealing with glucose that we consume. When researches disrupted those genes in worms, they life expectancy was no longer affected by glucose in their sustenance.
What that actually means for us?? Hmm lets see:)
Firslty, from research already done on worms we know that molecular pahtways that deal with the glucose work very similarly in worms and humans.
Additionally, it has been known for decades that excessive consumption of sugar is not good for us.

SO SIMPLY WE SHOULD CUT THE CONSUPTION OF THE SUGARS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:)

I DO NOT KNOW YOU BUT UNFORTUNATELLY FOR ME IT MEANS NO BARS, NO CHOCOLATE, NO DOUGHNUTS AAAAAAAAAA YEAH YEAH I DO NOT SEE THAT COMING:)
