1920-P: Coingestion of Glucose and Fructose Has Synergistic Effects on Lipoprotein Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Healthy Young Adults

Global sugar consumption is at an all-time high. In previous studies, we and others have demonstrated that, compared with glucose (Gluc), consumption of fructose (Fruc) increases risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, humans almost exclusively consume Fruc in combination with Gluc. Our aim was to study effects of Gluc, Fruc and their combination - high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) - and identify...
