According to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition, fat-build up from fructose consumption may be greater than consumption of other types of sugars such as glucose and sucrose.
The study involved six young, lean participants who had to drink either:
A soft drink sweetened with 100% glucos
A soft drink sweetened with 50% glucose and 50% fructose
A soft drink sweetened with 25% glucose and 75% fructose
The tests were random and blinded.
The groups who drank the beverages containing fructose gained more fat at a quicker rate than the glucose group.
