Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 1

The calories in sugar sweetened beverages can contribute to weight gain and provide little to no nutritional value. Sugar-sweetened beverages do not fill you up the same way that food does. Those extra calories can lead to other health risks including obesity, tooth decay, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Answer 2

Fructose is found in: sucrose, a disaccharide composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule; high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), containing relatively equal amounts of glucose; and fruit, honey and some vegetables as a naturally occurring monosaccharide.

The major source of fructose in the diet come from fructose-containing sugars (sucrose and HFCS) that are added to foods and beverages and contain relatively equal amounts of glucose.

Thus intakes of glucose and fructose co-vary and epidemiologic studies cannot differentiate between their effects.
