For weeks, if not months, you've known you have that beach vacation with your girl, your friend's wedding (with all the single bridesmaids), that video shoot at work. Soft drink, flavoured mineral waters and juice remains the favourite lunchtime drink options, with many a lunch meal deal dependent on choosing one of these sugary additions to round out your lunch. The issue? All of these options will add 5-9 teaspoons of sugar along with a couple of hundred extra liquid calories. Better options? Water, sparking or soda water or if you must a diet or no sugar bubbly alternative.
The study, published in Physiology and Behaviour, included two experiments designed to assess the effect on female rats of switching to either water or an artificially sweetened saccharin-based solution following unrestricted access to a sucrose-based sugar solution. Both the groups that switched to water or artificial sweetener recovered the abilities they had lost as a result of excessive sugar consumption.
