A 20-ounce soda typically contains 15 teaspoons of either sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup. These sugary beverages are a leading source of calories in the American diet and have been correlated with obesity and diabetes. There may be even more to this sweet dilemma, however. Could the sugars found in soda be altering your brain function? The effect of diet on human health is often evaluated using animal models. Researchers tested the impact of drinking fructose solutions on memory by using mice trained to find an escape chamber in a maze. The mice were fed diets consisting of control chow or chow that was supplemented with a fructose solution, omega-3 fatty acids, or both. After six weeks on the diets, the mice were tested again on the same maze with the results shown in the bar graph (∗ means P<0.05 and ∗∗ means P<0.01). How might the results of this study influence your diet while studying biology?-The best diet for performance in your classes will be rich in omega-3 fatty acids and rich in fructose.-The best diet for performance in your classes will be low in omega-3 fatty acids and low in fructose.-The best diet for performance in your classes will be low in omega-3 fatty acids and rich in fructose.-The best diet for performance in your classes will be rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in fructose.
