Nutritionists from the University of California have revealed which food product causes premature aging of the body.
As researchers have discovered, sugar can accelerate the aging process in humans.
Thus, scientists have drawn attention to the fact that sugar is capable of exerting a hyperreactive effect on the processes occurring inside people, as ScienceAlert reports.
At the same time, sugar has a destructive effect on a person even if he generally adheres to a healthy diet.
According to experts, the youngest cells are found in people who follow a Mediterranean diet.
This type of diet involves a complete rejection of sweet foods with the exception of fruits.
As study author Barbara Laraia pointed out, cutting out 10 grams of sugar a day can set a person's biological clock back two and a half months.
Experts pointed to the fact that the acceptable amount of sugar is 25 grams of this product per day for women and 36 grams for men.
