New research suggests that conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and even aggressive behaviors may be linked with sugar intake, and that it may have an evolutionary basis.

The research, out today from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and published in Evolution and Human Behavior, presents a hypothesis supporting a role for fructose, a component of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and uric acid (a fructose metabolite), in increasing the risk for these behavioral disorders.

“We present evidence that fructose, by lowering energy in cells, triggers a foraging response similar to what occurs in starvation,” said lead author Richard Johnson, MD, professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.

Interesting article, but not surprising. For quite some time, fructose has been the silent villain in sucrose and HFCS. Recent findings implicate fructose as contributing to many metabolic disorders not the least of which is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Given the incessant chant of healthy fruit and the overuse of fruit juice, particularly apple juice as healthy drinks for kids, the dangers of fructose are often camouflaged by the fact that is comes from fruit; therefore, it's perceived as healthy in many different forms. I'm seeking to access the document of the full study. Thanks for the link.
