SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: What's Worse for Your Body Composition & Liver Hea...

SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: What's Worse for Your Body Composition & Liver Hea...: Hard do believe, but the 10g from coke may actually do more harm than the same amount from cookies. If you want to scare me away from a ...



 
Bottom line: Let's get away from the "fructose vs. the rest of
the world" discussion and focus on those "foods" that contain
significant amounts of fructose. If you click on "foods highest in
fructose" on nutritiondata.com, you will obviously find "pops, sodas,
and soft drinks" on the first three ranks. And while they do have a high
fructose concentration (29.8g per 200ml serving), the study at hand
should remind you of another thing they have in common... ha? Yeah!
Right, they are liquid fast absorbing and a real stressor for your liver.



Figure 4: Replacing SSBs or juices with water or artificially sweetened beverages has identical beneficial effects on the weight trajectory of adults (Pan. 2013) - Even low fat milk would have you gain less body weight!
I am far from suggesting that after blaming fructose for everything, we
should now start blaming liquid foods for everything, but the results
Ritze et al. present in their latest paper do in fact "provide evidence
that liquid versus solid high-sugar diets differentially modulate
feeding behavior, distinct intestinal sugar transporters and weight
regulating hormones" and may thus be "a critical component for the
development of obesity and fatty liver disease", not just in mice, but
also in humans, where Ritze et al. found "similar enhanced sugar
transporter regulation within the small intestine as in liquid
high-sugar diet fed mice" and previous studies suggest that simply
replacing energy containing drinks with water will inhibit or at least
slow down long-term weight gain (Pan. 2013)
