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 .
The effect of minimal dietary changes with raisins in NAFLD patients with non-significant fibrosis: a randomized controlled intervention.
Aim ing at investigating the potential effect of minimal dietary changes in NAFLD patients with non-significant fibrosis , 55 patients with NAFLD were enrolled in a r and omized controlled clinical trial . Patients were assigned into two isocaloric dietary treatment groups for 24 weeks : ( a ) nutritional counseling ( Control arm , N = 27 ) , ( b ) nutritional counseling with currants included ( two fruit servings , 36 g per day ) , substituting snacks of similar caloric content ( Currant arm , N = 28 ) . Clinical tests , anthropometrics , inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were conducted pre- and post-intervention . A total of 50 patients completed the trial . Significant differences between the two arms post-intervention were observed in fasting glucose and in IL-6 levels , these being significantly decreased only in Currant patients . Body weight , BMI , HbA1c , CRP and EUS values decreased in both arms , differences being insignificant between the two arms post-intervention . Participants in the Currant arm had significantly reduced total body fat , WC and trunk fat . Ultrasound scanning improved significantly in patients snacking currants daily . Also , volunteers enrolled in the Currant arm showed a reduced intake of saturated fatty acids . Because BW regulation has been officially recognised as a treatment approach in NAFLD an additional analysis was repeated in patients adhering to this . Post-intervention , the decrease in IL-6 and in fasting glucose was significantly higher in Currant patients who lost BW compared to their counterparts in the Control arm . Conclusively , minimal modifications in snacking choices , such as the inclusion of dried grapes in diet , are beneficial in NAFLD patients with non-significant fibrosis
