Harmful side of sugar
Most people mix one to two spoons of sugar with tea or coffee in the morning but they don't know that this excess sugar is so harmful to our body. Because the harmful effects of sugar are not visible in a short period of time, we do not easily believe that sugar is harmful to our body. And the presence of harmful sugar is more common in junk food. Also present in large amounts of sugar and other artificial sweeteners in processed foods.
We get a form of sugar that the body needs from a variety of foods, such as fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables. We think these foods don't actually contain any sugar, so we add refined or granulated sugar as extra sweetener. But this sugar is harmful to our body. Sugar is refined by bleaching and sulfonation processes where sulfur is used. Sulfur is a toxic chemical element and when we consume sugar or any sugar-like sweetener, a very small amount of this toxic element enters our body.

New ways to prevent influenza
Canadian scientists have found a more effective and new compound or enzyme to fight against the influenza virus. They believe, the new compound will be able to destroy this virus. Scientists have announced to make new medicine from it.
An international team of scientists led by Professor Masahiro Nikura, a virologist at Simon Fraser University, conducted the study. During the research they discovered a new type of molecular compound. This compound has the ability to completely destroy the influenza virus.
According to a report published in the US science-based news website Science Daily, scientists achieved this success by working with the enzyme responsible for the growth and spread of the influenza virus.
The researchers said that the virus species will not be able to adapt to the new compound that will be made against influenza. Basically, this compound or enzyme will create a barrier in the spread of influenza. This compound is highly effective due to its water-soluble properties.
The drug Tamiflu, which is currently used to fight the virus, has almost lost its effectiveness. Because viruses have gradually learned almost all the ways to fight with this drug. Source: Times of India.
