3. Read the text and choose the correct answer:
A new study from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) says that eating a lot
of sugar makes you less intelligent. Scientists studied 4,000 people and found that those who drank
sugary drinks like cola every day scored lower on their IQ tests. The scientists also discovered that
the more sugary drinks a person had, the lower their IQ score was.
The researchers said that the results were especially bad for teenagers. They said that young
people who drank a lot of sugary drinks every day could be up to five per cent less intelligent than
people who did not drink them. The scientists think that the high levels of sugar in these drinks stop
the brain from developing properly. They also think that the caffeine in cola can stop a person from
sleeping well, which can also affect how well the brain works.
The researchers looked at other things as well as sugary drinks. They also studied fruit juice
and sweet foods like chocolate. They found that people who ate a lot of chocolate and drank a lot of
fruit juice did not have the same problem with their IQ scores. However, they said that drinking too
much fruit juice was still bad for a person's health. Drinking a lot of fruit juice can cause tooth
decay and make a person fat.
The researchers said that governments should put higher taxes on sugary drinks to stop
people from buying them. They also said that schools should sell healthier drinks like water and
milk instead of cola and other fizzy drinks. A spokesman for the food and drink industry said that
the government should not tell people what to eat and drink. He added that the research was not
very good because it only looked at one country - the United States.
