Journal ArticleDOI
Blood lipid distribution of hyperinsulinemic men consuming three levels of fructose
TL;DR: Plasma triglyceride increased significantly as fructose in the diets of the hyperinsulinemics increased, but was not affected in the controls, and these changes in blood lipids are associated with heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fiber from fruits and vegetables on metabolic responses of human subjects, II. Calcium, magnesium, iron, and silicon balances.
TL;DR: Calcium magnesium, and silicon balances were significantly lower on the high than on the low fiber diet (P less than 0.01).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fiber from fruits and vegetables on metabolic responses of human subjects I. Bowel transit time, number of defecations, fecal weight, urinary excretions of energy and nitrogen and apparent digestibilities of energy, nitrogen, and fat
TL;DR: The inclusion of fruits and vegetables in the diet decreased bowel transit time, increased bowel weight, increased number of defecations, increased fecal excretions and decreased apparent digestibilities of energy, nitrogen, and fat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Dietary Fructose on Plasma Glucose and Hormone Responses in Normal and Hyperinsulinemic Men
Judith Hallfrisch,Kathleen C. Ellwood,Otho E. Michaelis,Sheldon Reiser,Thomas M. O'Dorisio,Elizabeth S. Prather +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that moderate levels of dietary fructose can produce undesirable changes in glucose metabolism of both normal and hyperinsulinemic men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isocaloric exchange of dietary starch and sucrose in humans. I. Effects on levels of fasting blood lipids.
Sheldon Reiser,Judith Hallfrisch,Otho E. Michaelis,F L Lazar,R E Martin,Elizabeth S. Prather +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the consumption of sucrose can increase blood lipids that are considered to be risk factors in heart disease and that males and carbohydrate-sensitive individuals may be more susceptible than others to the effects of Sucrose.
