BACKGROUND
It had been proposed that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) differs from sucrose and has unique obesity-promoting properties.
In addition, the increased use of HFCS coincides with the increase of obesity in the U.S., but not necessarily elsewhere in the world (e.g. Mexico and Australia).
However, HFCS (42-55% fructose) and sucrose (50% fructose) are quite similar in their fructose content (although up to 65% in one report (Goran et al, Obesity, 2011).
Nonetheless, there were no studies directly comparing the effects of HFCS and sucrose.

Conclusions:The consumption of fructose, but not glucose-sweetened beverages at 25% of energy requirements for 10 weeks increased visceral adiposity, produced unfavorable changes in a number of lipid parameters, and decreased insulin sensitivity in older overweight/obese men and women.
These differential effects were seen despite comparable weight gain in the two groups.
Potential MechanismGlycemic Index of the Diets
(Differing postprandial glucose/insulin responses)
Baseline (Complex CHO) Diet: GI = 64
Fructose Beverage Diet: GI = 38
Glucose Beverage Diet: GI = 83

Other Potential Mechanisms Underlying the Effects of Fructose to Increase Lipids and Lower Insulin Sensitivity:
• Increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis?• Decreased fat oxidation?
• Increases of free fatty acids (FFA)?• Increased uric acid (linked to met syn)?• Inflammation?• Hepatic triglyceride deposition (NAFL)?

Effects of 10 Weeks of Fructose or Glucose Consumption on Markers of Inflammation
Cox et al, J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2011
Potential Mechanisms in the Effects of Fructose to Increase Lipids and Lower Insulin Sensitivity:
• Meal-related glucose and insulin excursions (glycemic index/load) (No)
• Hepatic de novo lipogenesis (Yes, and FAOx)
• Increases of free fatty acids (No, systemic FFA is not increased)
• Increases of uric acid (Unlikely, circulating UA effects are small, possible role for intracellular UA)
• Inflammation (Possibly, Some indices are increased)
• Hepatic triglyceride deposition (In Progress)

NEW FRUCTOSE STUDY (Ongoing):
Dose-response study of the effects of fructose and HFCS consumption at 10%, 17.5%, and 25% of energy requirements with an ad libitum diet on 24 hour lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity/glucose tolerance, hepatic lipid deposition (MRI), and inflammation in normal weight overweight/obese men and women (aged 18-40 years). We are also studying subjects consuming sucrose.

Changes of fasting lipids after 2 weeks of consuming glucose, fructose or HFCS sweetened beverages
Conclusions: Consumption of HFCS or fructose at 25% of energy requirements results in comparable increases of LDL cholesterol, ApoB and the ApoB/ApoA1 ratio within only 2 weeks in young (18-40 year old) men and women, independent of any changes of body weight/adiposity.
These effects are not seen with glucose-sweetened beverages.
Other levels of sugar consumption, effects of sucrose, lipid kinetics with stable isotopes and hepatic imaging are being conducted.
