St. Michael's Hospital study examines the relationship between sugars and heart health

(St. Michael's Hospital) There's an assumption that sugars are all bad, but a study led by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital suggests that the impact of sugars on heart health depends on the dose and type of sugar consumed. Led by Dr. John Sievenpiper, the team conducted a review of previous studies investigating the association between reported intakes of sugars and heart disease. The team found that that sugars behave differently depending on the type, dose and food.
