Data from these sources do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects
Abstract The relationship between sugar consumption and various health-related sequelas is controversial .
Some investigators have argued that excessive sugar consumption is associated with increased risk of obesity , coronary heart disease , diabetes ( T2D ) , metabolic syndrome , non-alcoholic fatty liver disease , and stimulation of reward pathways in the brain potentially causing excessive caloric consumption .
These concerns have influenced organizations such as the World Health Organization , the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in Engl and not to exceed 5 % of total energy and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee 2015 to recommend upper limits of sugar consumption not to exceed 10 % of calories .
Data from many r and omized control trials ( RCTs ) do not support linkages between sugar consumption at normal levels within the human diet and various adverse metabolic and health-related effects .
Fructose and glucose are typically consumed together in roughly equal proportions from high-fructose corn syrup ( also known as isoglucose in Europe ) or sucrose .
The purpose of this review is to present data from recent RCTs and findings from recent systematic review s and meta-analyses related to sugar consumption and its putative health effects .
This review evaluates findings from recent r and omized controlled trials , systematic review s and meta-analyses into the relationship of sugar consumption and a range of health-related issues including energy-regulating hormones , obesity , cardiovascular disease , diabetes , and accumulation of liver fat and neurologic responses .
A prospective study of sugar intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in women.
OBJECTIVE To investigate prospect ively whether intake of total or type of sugar is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes . The contribution of sugar intake to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes has not been settled in the context of primary prevention because of limited prospect i ve data . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Women 's Health Study is a r and omized controlled trial of aspirin and vitamin E in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer . A vali date d semiquantitative food frequency question naire was completed by 39,345 women aged 45 years and older . The main outcome was the incidence of type 2 diabetes . The predictor was sugar intake , including sucrose , glucose , fructose , and lactose . Using Cox proportional hazard models , multivariate RRs of type 2 diabetes for increasing quintiles of sugar intake compared with the lowest quintile were estimated . RESULTS Compared with the lowest quintile of sugar intake , the RRs and 95 % CIs for the highest quintiles were 0.84 ( 0.67 - 1.04 ) for sucrose , 0.96 ( 0.78 - 1.19 ) for fructose , 1.04 ( 0.85 - 1.28 ) for glucose , and 0.99 ( 0.80 - 1.22 ) for lactose , after adjustment for known risk factors for type 2 diabetes . Similar findings of no association were obtained in subgroup analyses stratified by BMI . CONCLUSIONS Intake of sugars does not appear to play a deleterious role in primary prevention of type 2 diabetes . These prospect i ve data support the recent American Diabetes Association 's guideline that a moderate amount of sugar can be incorporated in a healthy diet
