Brief Summary

Primary Objectives:

  1. 1.To determine whether a 4 week reduction in dietary fructose intake improves hepatic steatosis in overweight children who have a baseline high fructose consumption and hepatic steatosis.
  2. 2.To determine if a 4 week reduction of dietary fructose improves fasting plasma triglycerides, free fatty acids, very low-density lipoprotein, insulin and glucose as well as post-prandial levels in response to a high fructose meal.
  3. 3.To determine if a 4 week reduction of dietary fructose improves markers of oxidative stress.
