Associations between fructose consumption and metabolic features after adjusting for age, gender, and BMI in subjects not on insulin or insulin sensitizing agents.

	Fructose consumption (reported servings per week)
	0 servings	> 0 and < 7 servings		≥ 7 servings
		β ± SE	p-value	β ± SE	p-value
Triglycerides, mg/dl	-	−20.6 ± 19.5	0.29	9.4 ± 22.7	0.68
HDL-cholesterol, mg/dl	-	−3.6 ± 1.7	0.04	−6.5 ± 2.0	0.001
LDL-cholesterol, mg/dl	-	−1.4 ± 5.3	0.79	1.5 ± 6.2	0.81
Serum uric acid, mg/dl	-	−0.06 ± 0.21	0.77	0.45 ± 0.24	0.06
Fasting serum glucose, g/dl	-	−1.9 ± 2.8	0.50	−0.8 ± 3.2	0.81
Fasting serum insulin, μU/ml	-	1.9 + 4.4	0.67	3.7 + 5.1	0.47
HOMA-IR	-	0.38 ± 1.01	0.71	0.96 ± 1.18	0.42

Multiple lineal regression models were used to compute adjusted mean differences (vs. 0 servings). Adjusted means are presented as β-coefficient ± SE (p-value) in the table.
