Sugar-rich diets can cause premature death. This is the conclusion reached by scientists at the London Institute of Medical Sciences.

In a study conducted on flies, scientists came to the conclusion that an excess of carbohydrates has, among other things, a negative effect on the excretory system. Lactic acid is accumulated, which is the final product of the cleavage of purines that make up DNA. Lactic acid is prone to crystallization, which leads to the formation of stones in the excretory system, reported in a press release on MedicalXpress.

Changes in the metabolism of insect purines, provoked by exposure to carbohydrates, reduce their lifespan.

A study in humans has shown that sugar intake worsens kidney function and increases the level of purines in the blood. The accumulation of uric acid leads to kidney stones and the development of gout.

Previously, scientists conducted a study, during which made a prediction that in the near future 80% of the world's population will experience back pain.
