Substances that provoke gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with eating disorders (ED) can impact negatively on their nutritional rehabilitation. An Australian research group has found that ingestion of fructose-sorbitol (F-S) provoked gastrointestinal symptoms in more than half of a group of female ED patients, and symptoms were more marked in the most underweight patients. These findings indicate that F-S provocative testing could play a valuable role in the clinical management of ED patients. http://www.physorg.com/news177847515.html Medicine & Health Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:10:02 EST news177847515 A diet high in fructose increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), according to a paper being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, California. The findings suggest that cutting back on processed foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may help prevent hypertension. http://www.physorg.com/news176100729.html Medicine & Health Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:40:03 EST news176100729 Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees. Their study, which appears in ACS' bi-weekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, could also help keep the substance out of soft drinks and dozens of other human foods that contain HFCS. The substance, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), forms mainly from heating fructose. http://www.physorg.com/news174746800.html Chemistry Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:20:02 EST news174746800 A high-fructose diet raises blood pressure in men, while a drug used to treat gout seems to protect against the blood pressure increase, according to research reported at the American Heart Association's 63rd High Blood Pressure Research Conference. http://www.physorg.com/news172945611.html Medicine & Health Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:50:01 EST news172945611 Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees.

Daniel Lane and colleagues at Johns Hopkins, building on the suggested link between the consumption of fructose and increased food intake, which may contribute to a high incidence of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. http://www.physorg.com/news157187750.html Medicine & Health Wed, 25 Mar 2009 08:16:12 EST news157187750 As researchers continue to examine the role of sweeteners in the diet, it's important that people understand the differences among various ingredients used in scientific studies, according to the Corn Refiners Association (CRA). Interchanging two distinctly different ingredients, such as pure fructose and high fructose corn syrup, creates factually incorrect conclusions and misleads consumers. http://www.physorg.com/news155397066.html Medicine & Health Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:52:05 EST news155397066 A new study in mice sheds light on the insulin resistance that can come from diets loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener found in most sodas and many other processed foods. The report in the March issue of Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, also suggests a way to prevent those ill effects. http://www.physorg.com/news155309349.html Biology Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:29:34 EST news155309349 Obese people who drink fructose-sweetened beverages with their meals have an increased rise of triglycerides following the meal, according to new research from the Monell Center. http://www.physorg.com/news153677880.html Medicine & Health Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:21:37 EST news153677880 Women who drink two or more cans of soda pop per day are nearly twice as likely to show early signs of kidney disease, a recent study has found. http://www.physorg.com/news153406612.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:57:33 EST news153406612 A new University of Illinois study suggests that we may pay a price for ingesting too much fructose.
