Summary: | A reference text for dietitians, clinical nutritionists, and food scientists and technologists provides a summary of the published research literature pertaining to the metabolic effects of dietary fructose, defines future research needs, and is aimed at stimulating further research for evaluating the advisability of fructose intakes by humans. The 9 text chapters focus on the effects observed after feeding fructose to experimental animals and humans as they pertain to impacts on metabolites that are considered risk factors for disease. Interactions between dietary fructose and metabolic pathways not usually associated with carbohydrate metabolism (e.g., those involving nucleotides, copper, amino acids, and ethanol) are included. The influences of genetic predisposition and of interactions between fructose and other environmental factors on the magnitude of observed effects are stressed and discussed as possible sources of apparently contradictory findings obtained from studies using the same general experimental protocol. Mechanisms are offered to explain the metabolic effects of fructose. The similarities and differences of the metabolic effects of fructose and sucrose also are compared from a nutritional standpoint |
