5-LB: Consuming High-Fructose Corn Syrup or Sucrose-Sweetened Beverages Increases Hepatic Lipid Content and Decreases Insulin Sensitivity in Young Adults

Rodent studies demonstrate that compared with diets sweetened with sucrose, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) produces greater metabolic dysfunction. However, the effects of sustained consumption of HFCS and sucrose have not been adequately compared in humans. The objective of this study was to compare HFCS-, sucrose-, or aspartame- sweetened beverage (-SB) consumption on hepatic lipid content and insulin sensitivity in young adults. In a...
