PMID: 32197072.In brief: High-sugar diets cause thirst, obesity and metabolic dysregulation, leading to insulin resistance, the MetS, T2DM and shortened lifespan. This study shows that high sugar diets induce dehydration in adult Drosophila. Water supplementation fully rescued the shortened lifespan, but ...
