Sweet taste accompanies our lives since childhood. Sugar is commonly used in industrial production. Increased consumption of simple sugars has been observed since many years. Sugars come in different forms and one of them - glucose-fructose is on scientists aim because if it's impact on health. Fructose has unique metabolic features, that could be harmful for human organism. Excessive consumption of this substance contributes to obesity pandemic, development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Obesity affects in particular children and teenagers.[1] High consumption of fructose disturb sense of hunger and satiety.
