Interesting preliminary study not trying to get kids to lose weight, just exchanging starch for fructose.
Interesting preliminary study not trying to get kids to lose weight, just exchanging starch for fructose. I find the choice of fructose interesting, since table sugar is sucrose (glucose + fructose), but interesting nonetheless. At least they said they were looking at "surrogate metabolic parameters". My personal opinion is that weight is a surrogate, as well, but that's a different discussion.

Sucrose isn't just a floating bowl of independent fructose and glucose molecules, for one thing, and it annoys me when knowledgeable people act like it is. It also is glucose, though, which I think is what they're really studying.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I feel like we have a wide body of possible data on fructose, yes? HFCS is da bomb in such a study! Perfect!
