Rats Got Stupider After Drinking Soft Drinks

 

Scientist run a test of two groups of rats – one that are drinking water and the other group drinking soft drinks like Coke or Pepsi. After 57 days or 2 months the scientist broke their brains and discovered that those group who drink water are just okay but those group who drink soft drinks got their brain damage which explains they have problems how to get out in a maze (behavioral tests done by scientists) thus become stupider.

“A closer look at the rattos' brains confirmed that the soda groups had all sustained varying degrees of damage to the frontal cortex, which controls vital mental functions like attention, memory, and judgement, as well as the hippocampus, which plays a major role in both memory and learning.

Neurological damage is never a positive thing. But frankly, not being able to make their way through mazes would perhaps have been the least of the rats' problems, if they'd been left alive. In humans, frontal cortex damage has also been linked to personality changes and over-impulsivity, while injury to the hippocampus is thought to play a significant role in illnesses like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more.” (Futurism)

Neurological damage is never positive. But honestly, not being able to get through the mazes would probably be the least of the rats’ problems if they were left alive. In humans, damage to the frontal cortex has also been associated with personality changes and excessive impulsivity, while damage to the hippocampus is thought to play a significant role in diseases such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and others.” (Journal Break)

 

They have damage on the frontal cortex and hippocampus due to drinking soft drinks as the reports says but the damage will only be cause of long-term drinking soft drinks just like almost every time and every day. It causes memory problems, cognitive impairment, and cellular distress in their brains.
