Abstract
There is much evidence in the literature that fructose (and sucrose) follow a somewhat different metabolic path in the animal body than glucose. Two feeding experiments are reported in which sucrose and glucose were fed to rats at a level of 67% of a complete ration. Analysis of the carcasses indicated that the body storage in calories per calorie of food ingested showed a slight difference in favor of the sucrose ration.Keywords
