ing new research indicates
people can include added
sugars as part of a balanced
diet without increasing
their risk of heart disease
or weight gain.
The key is moderation
and maintaining other
healthy habits.
Consuming fructose
from added sugars at levels
found in the average Amer
ican diet does not lead to
weight gain or increased
risk for heart disease when
part of a weight-stable diet,
according to new research
presented at the American
Heart Association’s (AHA)
Scientific Sessions 2010
conference.
This marks the first time
researchers have measured
the effects of added sugars
consumption on body
weight, total cholesterol
and triglycerides levels,
when consumed at levels
typical of the general popu
lation.
“These findings demon
strate that added sugars,
whether from table sugar or
high fructose corn syrup,
do not promote weight gain
or increase total choles
terol, triglycerides or LDL

cholesterol when coupled
with a balanced diet,” said
Dr. James Rippe, a cardi
ologist who is director of
the Lifestyle Medicine Ini
tiative at Orlando Regional
Healthcare and the study’s
chief investigator.
Interestingly, the new
study was accepted for
presentation at the AHA
conference even though it
conflicts with the associa
tion’s recommendations.
The AHA recommends
men and women consume
no more than 100 and
150 calories of added
sugars daily (about 38
grams), though more than
90 percent of Americans
consume more — with an
average consumption rate
of 345 calories of added
sugar daily.
Rippe cautions that the
new findings shouldn’t lead
people to increase con
sumption of the sweet stuff
and that moderation is still
the key.
“Although this study is
not license to over-indulge,
it does inform us we can
enjoy sugar in moderation
as long as we are following
a healthy lifestyle. That’s
an important take-away for
people like moms who may
want to use added sweeten
ers to make healthy foods
more attractive to their
children.”
Table sugar (sucrose) is
the leading source of added
sugar in the American diet,
followed by high fructose
corn syrup (corn sugar).
Sugar and high fructose
corn syrup contain nearly
the same one-to-one ratio
of two simple sugars: fruc
tose and glucose.
In the double-blind study,
which was supported by
an unrestricted grant from
the Corn Refiners Associa
tion, researchers followed
64 overweight and obese
people who were placed on
a weight-stable diet for 10
weeks. The diet incorpo
rated sucrose-sweetened or
high fructose corn syrup-
sweetened low-fat milk, at
10 percent or 20 percent of
total calories. These fruc
tose consumption levels
were two- to four-times
greater than AHA recom
mendations .
After 10 weeks, there was
no change in body weight
in the group. There also
were no changes in total
cholesterol, triglycerides
or “bad” LDL cholesterol.
The participants also didn’t
experience elevated levels
of a protein that indicates
increased heart disease
risk and had no changes in
their levels of “good” HDL
cholesterol.
