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 .
Day-long glucose, insulin, and fructose responses of hyperinsulinemic and nonhyperinsulinemic men adapted to diets containing either fructose or high-amylose cornstarch.
Ten hyperinsulinemic and 11 nonhyperinsulinemic men consumed a typical American diet containing 20 % of calories either as fructose or as high-amylose cornstarch for 5 wk in a crossover design to determine their effects on indices of glucose tolerance . Blood glucose , insulin , and fructose  were determined before and 30 , 60 , 90 , 120 and 180 min after breakfast , lunch , and dinner . Glucose responses were significantly lower 60 and 120 min and the insulin response lower 60 min after the meals containing fructose .  Hyperinsulinemic men showed a tendency toward decreased insulin sensitivity after consuming fructose on the basis of an increased insulin-to-glucose ratio and decreased insulin binding to erythrocytes . These results generally show a beneficial effect of fructose on glucose tolerance ; however , recommendations for including large amounts of fructose in the diet should also be based on a complete evaluation of the effect on other metabolic risk factors
