So, time will tell what these latest findings really mean, but we already know that
fructose has a detrimental impact on two hormones involved with satiety and
hunger, namely leptin and ghrelin, and that this influence sets in motion a vicious cycle of
hunger,
increased food intake, and
increased fat storage.
As we all know, a high - fat, low - carb, low -
fructose diet generally decreases serum triglycerides and
increases satiety; perhaps the lower triglycerides are allowing more leptin to pass through and inhibit
hunger.
