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 .
Raisins Compared with Other Snack Effects on Glycemia and Blood Pressure: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
Abstract Objective : To compare effects of raisin snacks with conventional snacks on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors . Material s and Methods : A 12–week , r and omized , controlled trial compared 3–times – a – day consumption of raisins with intake of processed snacks on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors . Men and women were r and omized to snacks ( n = 15 ) or raisins ( n = 31 ) . Outcome measures were performed at baseline , 4 , 8 , and 12 weeks . Results : Fasting plasma glucose levels were not significantly affected by intake of raisins or snacks . Mean subject post pr and ial glucose levels were significantly reduced by raisin intake at 12 weeks ; changes with raisin intake were −13.1 mg/dL ( P = 0.003 vs baseline ; P = 0.03 vs snacks ) . Eating raisins significantly decreased glycated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) level ( −0.12 % ; P = 0.004 ) , a significantly greater level decrease than seen with snack intake ( P = 0.036 ) . Snack intake did not significantly affect subject systolic or diastolic blood pressure ( BP ) . Raisin intake was associated with reductions in systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) at 4 , 8 , and 12 weeks with mean changes of −6.0 to 10.2 mmHg ; all these changes were statistically significant ( P = 0.015 to 0.001 ) . Raisins were associated with significantly greater changes in diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ) at 4 , 8 , and 12 weeks than snacks ( P < 0.05 ) . Body weight did not significantly change within or between groups . Conclusions : Regular consumption of raisins  may reduce glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors , including BP rate
