Are they all created equal? Based on this study, we would say not,&#8221; Kylie Kavanagh, D.V.M., assistant professor of pathology-comparative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author of the study, said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In a previous trial which is referenced in the current journal article, Kavanagh&#8217;s team studied monkeys who were allowed to eat as much as they wanted of low-fat food with added fructose for seven years, as compared to a control group fed a low-fructose, low-fat diet for the same time period.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Not surprisingly, the animals allowed to eat as much as they wanted of the high-fructose diet gained 50 percent more weight than the control group.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They developed diabetes at three times the rate of the control group and also developed hepatic steatosis, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The big question for the researchers was what caused the liver damage. Was it because the animals got fat from eating too much, or was it something else?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>To answer that question, this study was designed to prevent weight gain.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ten middle-aged, normal weight monkeys who had never eaten fructose were divided into two groups based on comparable body shapes and waist circumference.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Over six weeks, one group was fed a calorie-controlled diet consisting of 24 per cent fructose, while the control group was fed a calorie-controlled diet with only a negligible amount of fructose, approximately 0.5 per cent.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In the high-fructose group, the researchers found that the type of intestinal bacteria hadn&#8217;t changed, but that they were migrating to the liver more rapidly and causing damage there.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It appears that something about the high fructose levels was causing the intestines to be less protective than normal, and consequently allowing the bacteria to leak out at a 30 per cent higher rate, Kavanagh said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The study is published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study conducted in an animal model at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center showed that
