Ibi ngo bishobora gutuma umuntu afatwa n’ indwara y’ umutima utaretse no kurwara imitsi ijyana amaraso ku bwonko. Ubu bwo bushakashatsi ariko bwerekana ko iyo uwo mwana aretse inzoga n’ itabi imitsi yongera ikaba mizima. Abo bashakashatsi bakoze iyi nyigo hagati y’i 2004 n’i 2008 ku bana 1266.

Ibyavuye muri iyi nyigo byatangajwe mu kinyamakuru "European Heart Journal". Abakoze iyo nyigo bakurikiranye abana bari ku myaka 13, 15 na 17, nyuma barabapima ngo barabe ko udutsi twabo dutwara amaraso ("artères") twaba twarangiritse.

Abakoreweho iyi nyigo babazwaga ingano y’ itabi bamaze kunywa, n’ imyaka bari bafite ubwo batangiraga kunywa itabi. Abanyoye amatabi arenga 100 bakanywa n’inzoga nyinshi nibo basanganywe udutsi twabo dutwara amaraso twarangiritse, kurusha abanyoye amatabi 20 n’amacupa abiri gusa ku munsi.

Prof John Deanfield, wo mu kigo UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science wanditse ibyavuye mu bushakashatsi yaravuze ngo "Mu bantu b’Ubwongereza bwa kino gihe twasanze kunywa itabi n’inzoga mu bakiri bato bituma udutsi dutwara amaraso dufunguna, bigatuma umuntu ashobora gufatwa n’indwara ya "athérosclérose".

Yakomeje agira ati "Ariko twasanze kandi ko mu gihe abo bana bahagaritse kunywa itabi n’inzoga kare, ko utwo dutsi dutwara amaraso dusubira kuba nkuko twari tumeze ubwa mbere, bivuze ko hari uburyo bwo kubungabunga utwo dutsi kuva mu buto."

Dr Marietta Charakida, yakoresheje ubwo bushakashatsi mu kigo UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science, yagize ati: "Udutsi dutwara amaraso tugira ingorane hakiri kare mu buzima biturutse ku gutumura itabi no kunywa inzoga kandi ibyo bintu uko ari bibiri bironona cyane”.

Dr Marietta yavuze ko nubwo ibarurishamibare ryerekana ko umubare w’ Abongereza banywa itabi bagabanyutse aba bashakashatsi ngo basanze umwana mu mwana batanu bafite imyaka 17 atumura itabi.

Ati "Iyi ababyeyi banywa itabi abana nabo bararirarikira”. Prof Metin Avkiran, wo mu kigo "British Heart Foundation", uri mu batanze uburyo bwo gukora ubwo bushakashatsi, yabwiye BBC ko ingorane umuntu ahura nazo zishobora gutanga ikizere.

Agira ati: "Ntihararengerana ibintu bishobora guhinduka ngo umuntu akarokora ubuzima. Kino nyigo ko aba yerekana abakiri bato bashobora kugira ingorane z’udutsi dutwara amaraso, ibyo bigatuma umuntu ashobora kugira ibibazo bikomeye mu buzima.”

Abanywa itabi bagirwa inama yo kurivaho kugira ngo barinde ubuzima bwabo, naho abanywa inzoga bagirwa inama yo kutarenza urugero.
