(1/28, Preidt) reported, "Teens who consume large amounts of the food
and beverage sweetener fructose show evidence of cardiovascular disease
and diabetes risk in their blood," according to a study published in the
Journal of Nutrition. The "study of 559 teens aged 14 to 18 found that
diets high in fructose were associated with higher blood pressure;
diabetes-related measures such as higher fasting glucose and insulin
resistance; and inflammatory factors that contribute to heart and
vascular disease." Researchers found
that "teens who consumed large amounts of fructose also tended to have
lower levels of cardiovascular protectors such as HDL...cholesterol and
the protein adiponectin."
