Description: This research examined the effect of pre-loads of solutions with the varying ratios of fructose (F) to glucose (G) on food intake 80 min later (FI), average appetite (AA), blood glucose (BG), and insulin in young men. The sugars solutions (75g/300ml) were sucrose, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS, F55:G45), F80:G20, and F20:G80 (Exp 1) and sucrose, F80:G20, F65:G35, F50:G50 and F20:G80 (Exp 2).In conclusion, the fructose to glucose ratio in equicaloric sugars solutions is a determinant of their effect on FI.All sugars solutions in Exp 1, but only sucrose and the F20:G80 solution in Exp 2 decreased FI compared with the water controls. High glucose containing solutions suppressed FI more than the high fructose solutions. Solutions of similar ratios (e.g. HFCS, sucrose, F50:G50) had similar effects on BG, insulin, AA and FI. BG and insulin were positively and FI negatively associated with the glucose content of the solutions.
