CONCLUSION Fructose consumption from industrialized foods has significant effects on most components of metabolic syndrome
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to review the current corpus of human studies to determine the association of various doses and duration s of fructose consumption on metabolic syndrome .
Effects of dietary fructose on plasma lipids in healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND About 9 % of average dietary energy intake in the United States comes from fructose . Such a high consumption raises concern about the metabolic effects of this sugar . OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary fructose on plasma lipids . DESIGN The study was conducted in the General Clinical Research Center at Fairview-University of Minnesota Medical Center . The participants were 24 healthy adult volunteers ( 12 men and 12 women ; 6 of each sex were aged < 40 y and 6 of each sex were aged > /=40 y ) . All subjects received 2 isoenergetic study diets assigned by using a r and omized , balanced crossover design . One diet provided 17 % of energy as fructose . The other diet was sweetened with glucose and was nearly devoid of fructose . Each diet was fed for 6 wk . Both diets were composed of common foods and contained nearly identical amounts of carbohydrate , protein , fat , fiber , cholesterol , and saturated , monounsaturated , and polyunsaturated fatty acids . All meals were prepared in the metabolic kitchen of the General Clinical Research Center . RESULTS The responses to the study diets differed by sex . In men , the fructose diet produced significantly higher fasting , postpr and ial , and daylong plasma triacylglycerol concentrations than did the glucose diet . The daylong plasma triacylglycerol concentration after 6 wk of the fructose diet was 32 % greater in men than the corresponding concentration during the glucose diet ( P : < 0.001 ) . The fructose diet had no significant effect on fasting or postpr and ial plasma triacylglycerol concentrations in women . The fructose diet also had no persistent effect on fasting plasma cholesterol , HDL cholesterol , or LDL cholesterol in either men or women . CONCLUSIONS Dietary fructose was associated with increased fasting and postpr and ial plasma triacylglycerol concentrations in men . Diets high in added fructose may be undesirable , particularly for men . Glucose may be a suitable replacement sugar
