Fructose-containing caloric sweeteners as a cause of obesity and metabolic disorders (original) (raw)

“…). Furthermore, free glucose is rarely ingested alone as a sugar and, for this reason, it has been proposed that the ingestion of glucose alone is more reflective of non‐sugar intake from a physiological perspective (Tappy, ). In other words, when referring to sugar intake, we are typically referring to the co‐ingestion of fructose and glucose, and not the ingestion of free glucose alone.…”

“…With regards to hepatic metabolism of carbohydrate, ingestion of glucose in either free form, or as the various polymers such as maltose, maltodextrin and (amylose) starch can be considered physiologically similar stimuli because hydrolysis of glucose polymers is not thought to be rate-limiting to intestinal absorption . Furthermore, free glucose is rarely ingested alone as a sugar and, for this reason, it has been proposed that the ingestion of glucose alone is more reflective of non-sugar intake from a physiological perspective (Tappy, 2018). In other words, when referring to sugar intake, we are typically referring to the co-ingestion of fructose and glucose, and not the ingestion of free glucose alone.…”
