► We produced a rare sugar syrup (RSS) containing rare sugars such as d-psicose. ► We examined the anti-obesity effects of RSS as compared with starch and HFCS diets. ► Long-term intake of RSS suppressed abdominal fat accumulation. ► Intake of RSS improved carbohydrate metabolism. Many studies have...
