Sugar may worsen gut damage from antibiotics, study suggests
Original: Taking antibiotics? Sugar may be making the damage worse
New research suggests that consuming sugar while taking antibiotics may intensify the damage the drugs cause, particularly to gut bacteria. The finding adds to growing concerns about antibiotic side effects and has prompted discussion about whether patients should adjust their diets during treatment. Scientists caution more work is needed to confirm the effect in humans.
Why now: Fresh research linking a common dietary habit to worse antibiotic side effects is drawing widespread attention.
