Consumption of Honey, Sucrose, and High-Fructose Corn Syrup Produces Similar Metabolic Effects in Glucose-Tolerant and -Intolerant Individuals

Raatz, Susan K; Johnson, LuAnn K; Picklo, Matthew J (2015) J. Nutr. October 1, 2015 vol. 145 no. 10 2265-2272. doi: 10.3945/jn.115.218016

OBJECTIVE: To determine the metabolic and health effects of chronic consumption of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), sucrose and honey in individuals with normal glucose tolerance (GT) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).

Association between sucrose intake and risk of overweight and obesity in a prospective sub-cohort of the European prospective investigation into cancer in Norfolk (EPIC-NORFOLK)

Kuhnle,G.G., Tasevska,N., Lentjes,M.A., et al, (2015) Public Health Nutr. 1-10 S1368980015000300

OBJECTIVE: To examine prospectively the association between sucrose intake and risk of overweight and obesity using urinary sugar biomarkers and self-reported dietary data.

High Sucrose Intake at 3 Years of Age is Associated with Increased Salivary Counts of Mutans Streptococci and Lactobacilli, and with Increased Caries Rate from 3 to 16 Years of Age

Karjalainen,S., Tolvanen,M., Pienihakkinen,K., Soderling,E., Lagstrom,H. and Simell,O.N., H., (2015) Caries Research 49:125-132 DOI: 10.1159/000369358

OBJECTIVE: Longitudinal study of salivary levels of the aciduric flora and dental health in response to sucrose intake in young children, to test the hypothesis that high sucrose intake at 3 years increases the aciduric flora with negative long-term effects on dental health.

Plaque pH in Caries-Free and Caries-Active Young Individuals before and after Frequent Rinses with Sucrose and Urea Solution

Hassan,H., Lingstrom,P. and Carlen,A., (2014) Caries Res. 49:18-25 000360798

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ability of the dental biofilm to form acid and alkali after short-term adaptation periods with daily exposure to sucrose and urea in relation to caries. Effects on stimulated saliva secretion rate and buffer capacity as well as acid-tolerant bacteria in saliva and plaque were also investigated.

Sucrose preload reduces snacking after mild mental stress in healthy participants as a function of 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter gene promoter polymorphism

Markus,C.R., Jonkman,L.M., Capello,A., Leinders,S. and Husch,F., (2014) Stress 1-33 10.3109/10253890.2014.990880

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether a sugar-containing preload would reduce appetite and energy intake after exposure to stress to induce negative mood, depending on genetic 5-HT vulnerability.

High fructose corn syrup and sucrose sweetened milk improve dietary quality during weight loss by displacing energy dense, nutrient poor foods

Sinnett,S., Lowndes,J., Nguyen,V., Lv,N. and Rippe,J., (2014) Food & Nutrition Sciences 5:1005-1014 10.4236/fns.2014.511111

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of consuming low-fat flavoured milk at levels of dairy consumption recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2010) as part of a hypocaloric diet on dietary quality and weight loss.

A secondary goal was to assess any differences between HFCS and sucrose at levels up to the 50th percentile consumption level of fructose in the American diet.

Short-term effects of glucose and sucrose on cognitive performance and mood in elderly people

van der Zwaluw,N.L., van de Rest,O., Kessels,R.P. and de Groot,L.C., (2014) J.Clin.Exp.Neuropsychol. 36:517-527 10.1080/13803395.2014.912613

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short-term effects of glucose and sucrose on cognitive performance and mood in healthy elderly people with self-reported memory complaints. Whether there was a differential effect of glucose or sucrose on cognitive performance between participants with better vs a poorer glucose recovery.

The effect of normally consumed amounts of sucrose or high fructose corn syrup on lipid profiles, body composition and related parameters in overweight/obese subjects

Lowndes,J., Sinnett,S., Pardo,S., et al, (2014) Nutrients 6:1128-1144 10.3390/nu6031128

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether two different amounts of sucrose or HFCS, consumed at levels equal to the 25th and 50th percentile of the US adult population consumption for total fructose, have any adverse impact on body weight, composition, blood lipids or blood pressure in a free-living study lasting 10 weeks.

Consumption of sucrose and high fructose corn syrup does not increase liver fat or ectopic fat deposition in muscles

Bravo,S., Lowndes,J., Sinnett,S. and Rippe,J., Appl Physiol. Nutr. Metab. doi.10.1139/apnm-2012-0322

Objective: To examine the effect of consumption of HFCS or sucrose for 10 weeks at 8% food energy, 18% or 30% (corresponding to estimated 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of intake range of US population).
