Effects of sugars on indices of glucose tolerance in humans

S Reiser, J Hallfrisch, M Fields, A Powell, W Mertz, ES Prather and JJ Canary

Ten men and nine women were studied to determine whether replacement of utilizable complex carbohydrate by sugars (mono- and disaccharides) in a high-fiber, low-saturated fat diet would affect indices of glucose tolerance. Diets differed in that the 50% of calories derived from carbohydrate was either 35% complex and 15% sugars (low-sugar) on 15% complex and 35% sugars (high-sugar). Summation of glucose responses 30- 180 min following an oral glucose tolerance test was significantly higher in men, but not women, after they consumed the high-sugar diet. Corresponding insulin responses were significantly higher in men consuming the high-sugar compared to the low-sugar diet. Insulin binding was significantly lower during the base line period and after the high-sugar diet compared to the low-sugar diet. Results indicate that sugars adversely affect indices of glucose tolerance when they replace complex carbohydrates even in a high-fiber, low-saturated fat diet.
