Data from these sources do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects
Abstract The relationship between sugar consumption and various health-related sequelas is controversial .
Some investigators have argued that excessive sugar consumption is associated with increased risk of obesity , coronary heart disease , diabetes ( T2D ) , metabolic syndrome , non-alcoholic fatty liver disease , and stimulation of reward pathways in the brain potentially causing excessive caloric consumption .
These concerns have influenced organizations such as the World Health Organization , the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in Engl and not to exceed 5 % of total energy and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee 2015 to recommend upper limits of sugar consumption not to exceed 10 % of calories .
Data from many r and omized control trials ( RCTs ) do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects .
Fructose and glucose are typically consumed together in roughly equal proportions from high-fructose corn syrup ( also known as isoglucose in Europe ) or sucrose .
The purpose of this review is to present data from recent RCTs and findings from recent systematic review s and meta-analyses related to sugar consumption and its putative health effects .
This review evaluates findings from recent r and omized controlled trials , systematic review s and meta-analyses into the relationship of sugar consumption and a range of health-related issues including energy-regulating hormones , obesity , cardiovascular disease , diabetes , and accumulation of liver fat and neurologic responses .
Fructose ingestion acutely elevates blood pressure in healthy young humans.
Overconsumption of fructose , particularly in the form of soft drinks , is increasingly recognized as a public health concern . The acute cardiovascular responses to ingesting fructose have not , however , been well-studied in humans . In this r and omized crossover study , we compared cardiovascular autonomic regulation after ingesting water and drinks containing either glucose or fructose in 15 healthy volunteers ( aged 21 - 33 yr ) . The total volume of each drink was 500 ml , and the sugar content 60 g. For 30 min before and 2 h after each drink , we recorded beat-to-beat heart rate , arterial blood pressure , and cardiac output . Energy expenditure was determined on a minute-by-minute basis . Ingesting the fructose drink significantly increased blood pressure , heart rate , and cardiac output but not total peripheral resistance . Glucose ingestion result ed in a significantly greater increase in cardiac output than fructose but no change in blood pressure and a concomitant decrease in total peripheral resistance . Ingesting glucose and fructose , but not water , significantly increased blood pressure variability and decreased cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity . Energy expenditure increased by a similar amount after glucose and fructose ingestion , but fructose elicited a significantly greater increase in respiratory quotient . These results show that ingestion of glucose and fructose drinks is characterized by specific hemodynamic responses . In particular , fructose ingestion elicits an increase in blood pressure that is probably mediated by an increase in cardiac output without compensatory peripheral vasodilatation
