Findings call into question recommendations that imply all sources of fructose-containing sugars carry the same risk

The role of sugars in public health continues to be urgently debated among nutrition scientists and health professionals—yet the science behind the effects of various fructose-containing sugars (e.g., sucrose/table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose/fruit sugar) on overweight and obesity has been unclear. A new comprehensive review, "Important food sources of fructose-containing sugars and adiposity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials," recently published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, elevates the importance of focusing on the types of foods and diets consumed, as well as total calories, when associating consumption of sugars with weight gain.
