According to researchers, it is still too early to tell whether the same holds true for humans. Current research performed on worms, has noted that the introduction of sugar has shortened their life span. The researcher suggested that added sugar into their diets shortened the worm’s life span by 20%. Researchers are still unclear what the findings mean for humans, but noted that the findings have raised questions about the impact of diets high in sugar.

Researchers added small amounts of glucose to the regular worm diet throughout the study. (Worms typically only consume C. elegans or bacteria.) The worms apparently had shorter lives due to the sugar’s effect on the worm’s insulin levels according to study reports. One of the researchers discussed how worms and humans are similar in the way their bodies handle insulin. Researchers also noted that research this early in its stages could possibly establish a link between a worm’s low-glycemic index and its common link to humans. This link could determine that a low-glycemic index that doesn’t boost blood sugar levels quickly could in turn boost longevity. Many of these same scientists are already working on related research, trying to link and understand how restricted diets of animals who eat much less than they normally would help them live longer. Humans could conceivably try and do the same thing, but at this point it is impractical for people to eat much less than their bodies tell them they should. Meanwhile, scientists related to this study have all adopted low-carb diets, which limit and in some cases, eliminate starches and desserts.
