And that last line is important to remember. Sugar and HFCS are basically the same in terms of fructose content.

Previous studies have already shown that leptin resistance can lead to rapid weight gain on a high-fat, high-calorie diet, but this is the first study to show that leptin resistance can develop as a result of high fructose consumption, and that leptin resistance can develop with little indication that it is happening.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elements4health.com/fructose-leads-to-leptin-resistance.html"><DIV>
Leptin is a hormone that plays a role in helping the body to <B>balance food intake with energy expenditure</B>. Leptin resistance is when the body no longer responds to the leptin it produces.  Leptin resistance is associated with weight gain and obesity in the face of a high-fat, high-calorie diet.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elements4health.com/fructose-leads-to-leptin-resistance.html">
Fructose is the sugar found in fruit, but normal consumption of fruit is not the problem. <B>Sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are about 50% fructose</B> and are common ingredients in many foods</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B8D4709B-2CB8-4166-A197-0A79B26311DE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
