Natural "sugar" drink beneficial for the liver

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that the consumption of a maple syrup improves the condition of the liver.

The scientists conducted many experiments on laboratory rats, during which some of the usual carbohydrates were replaced by maple syrup, while another group of rats ate a non-alcoholic beverage but did not contained no substances contained in the maple syrup.

The results showed that rats treated with pure maple syrup showed a marked improvement in their hepatic status compared to other groups.

This drink can be especially helpful for middle-aged people who are overweight because they are more prone to health problems, such as an increase in the concentration of lipids in the blood , diabetes or insensitivity to insulin, all of which have a negative effect on the liver.
