There was interaction by food source , with specific food sources showing beneficial effects ( fruit and fruit juice ) or harmful effects ( sweetened milk and mixed sources ) in substitution studies and harmful effects ( sugars‐sweetened beverages and fruit juice ) in addition studies on at least one outcome .
Conclusions Energy control and food source appear to mediate the effect of fructose‐containing sugars on glycaemic control .
Although most food sources of these sugars ( especially fruit ) do not have a harmful effect in energy matched substitutions with other macronutrients , several food sources of fructose‐containing sugars ( especially sugars‐sweetened beverages ) adding excess energy to diets have harmful effects .
Objective To assess the effect of different food sources of fructose‐containing sugars  on glycaemic control at different levels of energy control .
Attenuation of meal-induced inflammatory and thrombotic responses in overweight men and women after 6-week daily strawberry (Fragaria) intake. A randomized placebo-controlled trial.
AIM A pro-thrombotic , pro-inflammatory diet can play a causative role in atherosclerotic-cardiovascular diseases .  Dietary intervention studies provide insight into their pathophysiological manifestations and opportunities for prevention and management . We previously showed in an acute-meal setting that a beverage containing polyphenolic- and antioxidant-rich strawberry ( Fragaria ) vs placebo attenuated postpr and ial ( fed-state ) increases in biomarkers of oxidative and inflammatory stress , and insulin concentrations , induced by a high carbohydrate/fat ( HCF ) meal . In the present study , we aim ed to extend our findings and investigate hypotheses related to the effects of chronic/6-week ( wk ) strawberry consumption on HCF meal-induced increases in glucose , insulin , and indicators of inflammation and hemostasis . METHODS In a crossover design , 14 women and 10 men ( mean age , BMI : 50.9±15 years , 29.2±2.3 kg/m(2 ) , respectively ) , were r and omized to a 6-wk strawberry or placebo beverage followed by an HCF meal with assessment s for 6-hours ( h ) postpr and ially . RESULTS HCF meal responses after 6-wk strawberry beverage showed significantly attenuated postpr and ial PAI-1 concentrations compared to the placebo ( p = 0.002 ) ; the difference was most notable at 6 h. The IL-1 β response was attenuated with strawberry compared to the placebo ( p = 0.05 ) . IL-6 attenuation was apparent but non-significant ; IL-6 rose significantly from baseline to 6 h after the HCF meal following a placebo ( p ≤0.01 ) , although it remained relatively flat following the strawberry beverage from fasting to 6 h. No significant treatment-related differences were apparent for platelet aggregation , hsCRP , TNF-α , insulin , or glucose . CONCLUSION These data are the first to suggest that regular consumption of strawberry , a polyphenolic- and antioxidant-rich fruit , may provide protection from HCF meal-induced increases in fibrinolytic and inflammatory factors in at-risk men and women
