>All-too-common fructose — found in table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, used widely in everyday foods like ketchup — has long been considered a major reason why Americans pack on the pounds.
Now, scientists say they’re closer to figuring out exactly what makes the suspect sweetener such a sticky business for those struggling to stay fit.
Researchers at the University of Colorado are floating a theory that fructose lowers and blocks the body’s adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound that naturally provides energy for cells.
One of the results of that reduction is a decreased metabolism, which is needed to burn off energy from food that has been consumed.
