It has been shown that the metabolic responses to the ingestion of carbohydrates depend
upon a) the type of the ingested carbohydrate and b) the genetic build-up of the recipient.
In the non-susceptible animal, the ingestion of high sucrose, fructose or glucose
diets will ensue in "normal" metabolic responses. In the susceptible animal the ingestion
of these same carbohydrates will result in impairment of the carbohydrate and lipid
metabolism, which will ultimately lead to the development of diabetes and diabetic
angiopathy while their siblings with the same genetic build-up consuming starch, will
not.
The impairment of the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism by high glucose diet was such
smaller than that by fructose or sucrose.
