Results from a new study conducted in Germany show that fructose, which is found in fruit and juices, can be a cause of obesity in children. Researchers at the Institute for Nutritional Medicine at the University of Stuttgart have found that children lost weight when their consumptio n of fructose was reduced over a period of time. The study looked at 15 overweight children between the ages of 5 and 8 years. Over three months, the children were given food with half as much fructose as their diet contained before. The researchers believe a temporary reduction in fructose consumption can have a beneficial effect on obese children. 2009-09-14
