Drinking soda may cause violence in adolescents
A new study finds that teenagers who drink a lot of soft drinks are involved in fights, carrying weapons more than their counterparts who drank less soft drinks.
Although this study could not determine whether the soft drinks actually cause violence, the increase results so far are still controversial, as the Research Corporation to conduct research showing the effects of nutrition on behavior.
David Hemenoa Director Harvard School of Public Health in injury control research center in Boston, "We were surprised how much impact was great."
Has long been interested how diet affects behavior, and this is not only among scientists, but among legal experts.
In the famous trial in San Francisco 1979 gave the lawyers blame the crime of attempted murder that the offender has switched meals healthy meals full of coca-Cola and other junk food. Kdammelt and argument, and instead sentenced to murder, the defendant was convicted of the lesser offense.
A study in 2006 in Norway that teenagers who drink a lot of soft drinks was a bad mental health than those who ate less. The study, published earlier this year, higher levels of antisocial behavior in American college students who drank more soda.
In the latest survey conducted by Hemenway and his colleague Sulenk more than 1,800 students in public schools in Boston. That during the 40 minutes of work sessions dealing with a range of topics, answered children's questions about the extent of eating a meal without drinking soda with food while they were in the past seven days, whether their actions violent towards others, and if their actions to carry a knife or gun in the previous year .
The researchers in the research of prevention of injuries that nearly 30% of the respondents consumed more than five cans of soda each week. Who drink soda in a large number got less sleep than others, but they were more likely to drink alcohol and tobacco during the previous month.
The researchers found to control alcohol and tobacco, a steady rise in violence, along with higher levels of drinking soda.
Twenty-three percent of teenagers who ate less than one soft drink per week carrying a weapon, for example, compared with 43% who drank five or more cans a week. And increased violence against their peers from 35% in the group with low consumption to 59% in the group who drank soft drinks heavily.
Said Bernard Kisc a n researchers in diet and behavior at the University of Oxford in the UK it is too early to say that the causes of violence are soda, and a new study shows a correlation only.
Still there is growing evidence that sugar may be worth at least some of the blame. Kisc said that some research has shown that there is a direct relationship to how the brain works in the process of glucose metabolism. There is also strong evidence that people who commit violence tend to have an error in the process of digestion of glucose. May be that the consumption of vast quantities of sugar leads to commit acts of violence.
Jasc was found in his own research, a decline of 26% of crimes worthy of discipline among the prisoners who were given dietary supplements, while still on the same behavior in the group who were randomly assigned to take placebo pills. A similar study conducted by Dutch researchers in the lower 48% of the bad with the supplements.

He added: "The evidence linking diet with heart disease can easily influence the great sickness," and added: "The evidence linking diet, the function of the brain has a significant impact. If the brain is the crown jewel of our species, why is the research in this area very few
