Scientists and nutritionists have long suspected that high-fructose corn syrup, used to sweeten soft drinks, is one of the causes of childhood obesity. In a recent study, at the University of Cincinnati, researchers found that mice that drank water with added fructose ate less solid food, gained more weight, and put on 90% more body fat than mice that drank only water.  Scientists concluded that fructose may cause the body to store fat. What is the control used in this experiment?

Nutrition and diet

We are involved in several daily activities. These actions need a significant quantity of energy. The food we eat provides this energy. Food is necessary for development, repair, and other living activities since it supplies energy. All of these are part of the living practice known as nutrition. Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet, health, and disease. Nutritionists employ concepts from molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics to understand how nutrients affect the human body. Nutrition also looks at how people can use their diet to reduce their risk of disease, as well as what happens when they ingest too much or too little of a nutrient and how allergies emerge.
