fructose effects
More about the association of sugar and heart disease. From the ADA
meeting " ADA: Cheap Fructose May Exact High Metabolic Price ;Medpage today; 6/26/07" "CHICAGO, June 25 -- Fructose in sodas and other beverages -- but not glucose -- can set patients on the fast track to atherosclerosis, investigators here reported. These data were presented at a conference and the data and conclusions should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal. Overweight men and women assigned to drink fructose-sweetened beverages as 25% of their energy intake developed atherogenic lipid profiles in just two weeks, whereas those who drank glucose-sweetened drinks did not, said Kimber Stanhope, M.S., of the University of California at Davis, and colleagues. "Compared with consumption of glucose, 10 weeks of fructose consumption as 25% of energy requirements promoted the development of an atherogenic lioproprotein phenotype and glucose intolerance/insulin resistance in older, overweight and obese men and women," Stanhope said at the American Diabetes Association meeting"........ the article further notes " In addition, patients who took fructose had increases in fasting plasma concentrations of LDL (up 17% + 4%), Apolipoprotein B (up 28% 7%), small dense LDL (up 27% + 11%), postprandial concentrations of remnant lipoprotein (up 77% + 19%) and of remnant-like particle cholesterol (up 53% + 12%; P for each 0.01). None of these parameters was unchanged in patients who drank glucose. "These effects appear to be exacerbated when fructose sweetened- beverages are consumed with a typical ad labium western diet compared with an energy-balanced moderate fat diet," she said." I expect this may contribute to the ADA reconsidering thier dietary advice Thanks Vince http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingC...eeting/tb/6021 |
