American scientists recommend the flu is excellent to eat and have a large amount of sweet.
Scientists came to the conclusion that the consumption of sweets in influenza very helpful.
Immunobiology from Yale University said that during viral and bacterial infections shows a completely different diet.
In infectious diseases in humans are usually deteriorating appetite, reduced mobility and social activity.
The researchers conducted experiments on mice infected with either bacteria with Listeria (Listeria monocytogenes) or influenza viruses (A/WSN/33).
While listeriosis, the animals lost appetite, but if they were forced to eat, they were killed. When feeding them with pure glucose, the effect is fully preserved.
According to experts, it is the glucose was the cause of death of mice infected with Listeria.
But in the case of influenza virus, forced feeding leads to a decrease in mortality, especially when feeding pure glucose. According to scientists, during viral infection, when mice were offered 2DG, which inhibits glucose metabolism, mortality of mice was increased.
Thus, according to the researchers, although viral and bacterial infections, loss of appetite common, but the consequences of the desire to feed, are completely opposite.
