Weight Loss Tip--New Scientific Discovery

Researchers at the U. of California* have found that, "When we eat or drink foods with glucose 'common sugar] in them, the glucose triggers release of leptin and insulin.

"Both of those hormones help regulate our appetite. However, when we eat or drink foods with fructose 'fruit sugar also found in honey] in them--like soft drinks or some juice beverages--our bodies may produce less leptin or insulin.

"As a result, we may still feel hungry after eating. It's as if the fructose-containing foods are invisible to our bodies, so our appetites aren't adjusted after eating."

*Drs. Keim, Havel & Warden, genetics and pediatrics researchers respectively, as reported in Agri. Research, vol. 49, no. 8. Dr. Keim is with the USDA-ARS Western Human Nutrition Res. Ctr., Davis, CA 95616
