Single arm prospective with 27 participants from 2 specific, at risk, ethnic groups: This study argues that the health detriments of sugar, and fructose specifically, are independent of its caloric value or effects on weight. Further studies will be required to determine whether sugar restriction alone can impact metabolic syndrome in adults and whether such effects are short‐lived or long‐term.
