Results: Consumption of fructose, but not glucose, led to significant decreases of net
postprandial fat oxidation and significant increases of net postprandial carbohydrate
oxidation (P< 0.0001 for both). Resting energy expenditure (REE) decreased significantly
from baseline values in subjects consuming fructose (P= 0.031) but not in those consuming
glucose. Conclusions: Increased consumption of fructose for 10 weeks leads to marked

Results:
Consumption of fructose, but not glucose, led to significant decreases of net postprandial fat oxidation and significant increases of net postprandial carbohydrate oxidation (P< 0.0001 for both). Resting energy expenditure (REE) decreased significantly from baseline values in subjects consuming fructose (P= 0.031) but not in those consuming glucose.
Conclusions:
Increased consumption of fructose for 10 weeks leads to marked changes of postprandial substrate utilization including a significant reduction of net fat oxidation. In addition, we report that REE is reduced compared with baseline values in subjects consuming fructose-sweetened beverages for 10 weeks.
