Group Objectives |
|
|
In recent years, it has been said
that there is a relation between fructose and obesity or abnormal
lipid metabolism, which has become an issue especially in the
United States. Based on the necessity for scientifically verifying
such evaluations of fructose, which is a low glycemic material,
the Fructose Working Group decided to investigate the issue
mainly through a search of the literature, along with promotion
of the GR Project. |
| Main
Activities To Date |
|
1.
|
|
Literature search using
PubMed: |
|
|
|
|
Human clinical trials concerning
fructose intake were searched using PubMed, and 200 corresponding
papers were distributed among the working group members. Everyone
carried out a thorough examination of the relevant literature
assigned to them, and they reported on the content. The results
are to be listed up by each person, and then compiled in a final
list by the working group leader. The work by each person has
almost been completed. |
|
2.
|
|
Japanese literature
search: |
|
Searching the Japanese literature
using J-Dream2 etc. |
|
3.
|
|
Investigated the content
of "Dietary Fructose: |
|
Implications for Dysregulation
of Energy Homeostasis and Lipid/Carbohydrate Metabolism"
by Havel, Peter J., DVM, PhD, Nutrition Reviews, Vol. 63, No.
5., pp. 133-157. This is a paper on fructose translated by the
Fructose Working Group. |
| Future
Activities |
|
1.
|
|
Literature search using
PubMed： |
|
|
|
|
The remaining working group members
will submit their reports, and the compiled list will be prepared. |
|
2.
|
|
Japanese literature
search: |
|
Some additional searches will be
carried out |
|
3.
|
|
Fructose paper, "Dietary Fructose:
Implications for Dysregulation of Energy Homeostasis and Lipid/Carbohydrate
Metabolism": |
|
The review content will be investigated
in two or three sessions. The main literature that comments
on fructose (Am J Clin Nutr) will also be listed up, and the
content investigated. |

|
| Weight Control
Working Group |
| Working
Group Objectives |
|
To conduct
a literature survey focusing on the "treatment of obesity focusing
on carbohydrates" in order to prevent lifestyle-related diseases, and
to verify the scientific validity of this approach. In, addition,
to investigate evidence-based weight control methods from various
perspectives. |
| Main
Activities To Date |
|
Each member was in
charge of one or more of the following projects: |
|
|
・ |
Literature survey on the relationship between
overconsumption of carbohydrates and/or lipids and obesity |
|
・ |
Scientific verification on a low-carbohydrate
diet including the Atkins Diet by verifying research papers
on human intervention trials |
|
・ |
Literature review of
human intervention trials regarding the relationship between
Glicemic Index (GI) and weight control |
|
・ |
Literature review on short-term
and medium- to long-term human intervention trials focusing
on the relationships between GI and appetite, hunger or satiety
Broad literature review on hormones related to appetite and
satiety, such as ghrelin and leptin Some of the results were
complied in a review paper which was accepted in Journal of
Nutritional Science and Vitaminology. "Is Glycemic Index of
Food a Feasible Predictor of Appetite, Hunger, and Satiety?" （J.
Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol. Vol. 55, No. 3, 201-207, 2009）

Each member was in
charge of one or more of the following projects: |

The activities of this working
group were closed with the submission and adaptation of the
