When consumed in typical amounts, there is no scientific evidence that fructose causes obesity or metabolic syndrome. The incidence of metabolic syndrome has risen over the past few decades while Americans‟ intake of calories from sugar has stayed the same or gone down in the past ten years (Rippe, 2013; USDA, 2012; Mozumdar, 2011).

(2009) found that isocaloric substitution of fructose for other carbohydrates did not lead to increased circulation of blood lipids. Likewise, a systematic review by Dolan et al.

(2012) found that isocaloric intake of fructose did not lead to increased blood pressure, and that hypercaloric intake of fructose did not significantly affect mean arterial blood pressure. Likewise, a […]
