In addition , there was a low level of evidence that hypercaloric fructose and glucose diets have similar effects on liver fat and liver enzymes in healthy adults .
There was insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion for effects of HFCS or sucrose on NAFLD .
Conclusions : On the basis of indirect comparisons across study findings , the apparent association between indexes of liver health ( ie , liver fat , hepatic de novo lipogenesis , alanine aminotransferase , AST , and γ-glutamyl transpeptase ) and fructose or sucrose intake appear to be confounded by excessive energy intake .
Overall , the available evidence is not sufficiently robust to draw conclusions regarding effects of fructose , HFCS , or sucrose consumption on NAFLD
Background : Concerns have been raised about the concurrent temporal trend between simple sugar intakes , especially of fructose or high-fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ) , and rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) in the United States .
Objective : We examined the effect of different amounts and forms of dietary fructose on the incidence or prevalence of NAFLD and indexes of liver health in humans .
The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias in randomised trials
Flaws in the design , conduct , analysis , and reporting of r and omised trials can cause the effect of an intervention to be underestimated or overestimated . The Cochrane Collaboration ’s tool for assessing risk of bias aims to make the process clearer and more
