Study Summary

It is not known whether consumption of excessive amounts of sugar can increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease or diabetes in the absence of increased food (caloric) intake and weight gain, nor whether the negative effects of sugar consumption are made worse when accompanied by weight gain. This study will investigate the effects of excess sugar when consumed with an energy-balanced diet that prevents weight gain, and the effects of excess sugar when consumed with a diet that can cause weight gain. The results will determine whether excess sugar consumption and excess caloric intake that lead to weight gain have independent and additive effects on risk factors for cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and will have the potential to influence dietary guidelines and public health policy.

Primary Outcome

Blood samples are collected during 26-h isotopic acetate infusion. Blood samples are processed for determination of palmitate tracer-to-tracee ratios by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Interventions

  • OTHER Ad libitum diet
  • OTHER high fructose corn syrup
  • OTHER aspartame
  • OTHER Energy-balanced diet
