Studies with two groups of rats, one given high amounts of glucose and one given high amounts of fructose resulted in disastrous results for the fructose group. Not only did the male rats not reach adulthood, they had delayed testicular development, anemia, high cholesterol and heart hypertrophy-- a symptom where the heart enlarges until it explodes. Fructose in combination with copper deficiency in the growing animal interferes with collagen production, a deficiency that is widespread in America.
In a nutshell, the little bodies of the rats just fell apart. The females were not so affected, but they were unable to produce live young.
According to Author Nancy Appleton, Ph.D, “The balance of minerals in the body is very important for the function of vitamins, enzymes and other body function. When the minerals are out of the right relationship, the body chemistry suffers. Fructose inhibits copper metabolism. A deficiency in copper leads to bone fragility, anemia, defects of the connective tissue, arteries, and bone, infertility, heart arrhythmias, high cholesterol levels, heart attacks, and an inability to control blood sugar levels.”
Appleton says, “It seems that the magnitude of the deleterious effects varies depending on such factors as age, sex, baseline glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations, the presence of insulin resistance, and the amount of dietary fructose consumed.”
