Response to “Metabolic improvement with fructose restriction: Is it the fructose or the weight loss?”
Year: 2016
Type: letter
Abstract: Khan and Sievenpiper state our study cannot overturn the results of their numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses. However, these analyses suffer from flaws of their own, including publication bias; between-study heterogeneity; artifact of inadequate GI absorption in fructose-for-glucose exchange studies; random-effects modeling giving more weight to smaller studies; and, importantly, lack of subclassification of industry-sponsored vs. independent studies (4). In fact, the one meta-analysis that accounts for these concerns supports our conclusion (5). We are unmoved by their arguments.
