Fructose, Obesity and Diabetes
information from the
National Institutes of Health
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are occurring at epidemic rates in the United States
and many parts of the world. The "obesity epidemic" appears to have emerged largely
from changes in our diet and reduced physical activity. An important but not well-appreciated
dietary change has been the substantial increase in the amount of dietary fructose
consumption from high intake of sucrose and high fructose corn syrup, a common sweetener
used in the food industry. Evidence from recent epidemiological and biochemical
studies clearly suggests that the high dietary intake of fructose has rapidly become
an important causative factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome. There
is an urgent need for increased public awareness of the risks associated with high
fructose consumption and greater efforts should be made to curb the supplementation
of packaged foods with high fructose additives.
Hereditary Fructose Intolerance
Hereditary fructose intolerance is a condition that affects a person's ability to
digest the sugar fructose. Fructose is a simple sugar found primarily in fruits.
Affected individuals develop signs and symptoms of the disorder in infancy when
fruits, juices, or other foods containing fructose are introduced into the diet.
After ingesting fructose, individuals with hereditary fructose intolerance may experience
nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Affected infants may fail to grow and gain weight at the expected rate.
Repeated ingestion of fructose-containing foods can lead to liver and kidney damage.
The liver damage can result in a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice),
an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), and chronic liver disease (cirrhosis). Continued
exposure to fructose may result in seizures, coma, and ultimately death from liver
and kidney failure. Due to the severity of symptoms experienced when fructose is
ingested, most people with hereditary fructose intolerance develop a dislike for
fruits, juices, and other foods containing fructose.
Fructose Intolerance vs. Fructose Malabsorption
Hereditary fructose intolerance should not be confused with a condition called fructose
malabsorption. In people with fructose malabsorption, the cells of the intestine
cannot absorb fructose normally, leading to bloating, diarrhea or constipation,
flatulence, and stomach pain. Fructose malabsorption is thought to affect approximately
40 percent of individuals in the Western hemisphere; its cause is unknown.
Fructose malabsorption is associated with early signs of mental depression
Fructose malabsorption is characterized by the inability to absorb fructose efficiently.
Bloating, cramps, osmotic diarrhea and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome
are the consequence and can be seen in about 50% of fructose malabsorbers. Subjects with fructose malabsorption showed a significantly higher score in the
Beck's depression inventory than normal fructose absorbers. This was true
especially for females. Fructose malabsorption may play a role in the development
of depressed mood. Fructose malabsorption should be considered in patients with
symptoms of major depression or pre-menstrual syndrome.
Gout Risk and Fructose Consumption
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in men. The doubling of incidence
of gout over the past few decades in the United States coincided with a substantial
increase in the consumption of soft drinks and fructose.
NIH study: consumption
of sugar sweetened soft drinks and fructose is strongly associated with an increased
risk of gout in men. Furthermore, fructose rich fruits and fruit juices may also
increase the risk.
