Abstract

Incremental usage of the fructose derived from corn by processed-food manufacturers has become a crucial threat in terms of human health. Although it is known as fruit sugar, the most important source of dietary fructose is now, processed-food prepared by using high-fructose corn syrup. Basically, fructose is metabolized within liver and its energy load is equal to glucose. Nevertheless, it does not make up satiety and fullness. Therefore, fructose-rich foods and beverages can be consumed in large amount because the absence of satiety. Studies performed recently unveil a connection between amount of fructose consumed and metabolic disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity. The incidence of metabolic diseases which are already affecting more than half of the adults has been increasing among children. Moreover, these types of foods are generally consumed by children. Therefore, in order to reduce the frequency of metabolic disorders in all ages, the amount of fructose in processed-foods and beverages should also be taken into consideration.

Özet

Hazır gıda üreticilerinin gittikçe artan miktarda kullandıkları mısır kaynaklı fruktoz, insan sağlığı için önemli bir tehdit haline gelmiştir. Fruktoz, meyve şekeri olarak bilinmekle birlikte, diyetteki en önemli kaynağı fruktozdan zengin mısır şurubu kullanılarak üretilen hazır gıdalardır. Fruktoz, temel olarak karaciğerde metabolize edilir ve glukoz ile aynı enerji yüküne sahiptir. Ancak glukoz gibi doyma ve tokluk hissi oluşturmaz. Bu nedenle yüksek fruktoz içeren hazır yiyecek ve içecekler doyma hissi oluşturmadıkları için daha çok tüketilirler. Son dönemde yapılan çalışmalar gıdalarla alınan fruktoz miktarı ile kalp-damar hastalıkları, tip 2 diyabet, hipertansiyon ve şişmanlık gibi metabolik hastalıklarla arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Halihazırda, erişkinlerin yarısından fazlasını etkileyen metabolik hastalıkların çocuklarda görülme oranı da artmaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu tür gıdalar daha çok çocuklar tarafından tüketilmektedir. Bu nedenle, metabolik hastalıkların tüm yaşlarda görülme sıklığını azaltmak için, hazır gıda ve içeceklerin fruktoz miktarı da göz önüne alınmalıdır.
