Height and weight were measured before the start of the study and blood samples were taken to measure different factors, such as glucose and fat levels. Over the 10 weeks, participants consumed milk sweetened for their respective group each day, but were instructed not to change other aspects of their diet.<\/p>\n<p>Results of the study showed that participants in each group gained weight and had increases in fat mass and waist circumference. However, there was not a significant difference between those consuming the 25<sup>th<\/sup> percentile of HFCS or sucrose and those consuming at the 90<sup>th<\/sup>percentile for HFCS or sucrose. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the triglyceride or glucose levels of any of the groups.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers concluded that, \u201c<strong>These findings confirmed our hypothesis that consumption of sugars up to the 90<sup>th<\/sup> percentile population consumption level does not adversely impact cholesterol, LDL, blood pressure or glucose in the context of a well-designed, supervised, mixed nutrient diet program.<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0 They added, \u201cTo our knowledge, this is the first attempt to examine the metabolic impacts of this range of sugar and, more specifically, fructose consumption levels through normally consumed sugars amongst individuals in a free living environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6>Lowndes J, Sinnett S, Yu Z, Rippe J.
