Alcohol and cigarettes are more dangerous than marijuana and ecstasy, and spices help to relieve inflammation.

According to British scientists, marijuana and ecstasy cause less harm to health than alcohol and smoking. To illustrate their conclusions, the experts presented a methodology for assessing the negative effects of prohibited substances on the human body. The scientific work was published on the pages of the Lancet.

The staff of the University of Bristol, led by Professor David Natta, came up with a proposal to make a number of changes to the classification of drugs used so far. Three indicators should be fundamental for an objective assessment of the harm caused by drugs. These are: damage to health, the danger of addiction, and the danger of the drug itself.

Before drawing certain conclusions, scientists conducted a survey among several dozen different employees: psychiatrists, narcologists, police officers and forensic experts. The survey was followed by an analysis of the results obtained, followed by a list of the 20 most dangerous narcotic drugs.

Cocaine and heroin came first in the new ranking, followed by barbiturates and methadone. Alcohol ranked fifth, tobacco ninth, marijuana eleventh, and ecstasy twentieth.

Currently, neither alcohol nor tobacco are present in the British Drug Abuse Act. Although, scientists note, it is smoking that causes about 40% of all diseases, and alcoholic beverages often become the main reason for hospitalization of a large number of people.

Spices help to relieve inflammation

Scientists from the University of Georgia in the USA claim that spices are able to protect body tissues from damage or inflammatory processes that occur, for example, in diabetes mellitus.
During the study, experts tested 24 types of spices purchased in a regular supermarket, and came to the conclusion that in addition to the high content of antioxidants, spices can affect the condition of tissues.

Cinnamon is the most striking example of the biological activity of spices. For example, cinnamon extract can lower blood sugar levels after eating in rodents and humans.

Due to the increase in blood sugar in diabetes, the process of sugar attachment to protein molecules is activated in the body. As a result of this compound, this substance activates immune reactions that lead to tissue damage and inflammation.
