Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A dietary intervention acute trial will be conducted in healthy subjects, in randomized controlled cross-over design. Acute trial will involve dietary intervention with a single dose of sugar (fructose/glucose/sucrose) sweetened drink followed by collection of blood samples at 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes following consumption of a) lemon-flavoured drink containing 50g of fructose, b) lemon-flavoured drink containing 50g of glucose and c) lemon flavoured drink containing 50g of sucrose. After a 1 week period of wash out the experiment will be repeated swapping groups. Subjects will be asked to fill a medical and a physical activity questionnaire and will have their anthropometric measurements taken. In addition, subjects will complete a 24 hour food record.

Summary
Brief summary
There is evidence in the published literature that consumption of a high fructose diet is detrimental to cardio-metabolic health. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of dietary fructose consumption on plasma lipids, satiety hormones, insulin resistance and inflammation. If our hypothesis is validated, dietary strategies can be designed to reduce body weight and associated risk for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease
