Short-term high fructose intake among men caused increased blood triglycerides (fats) and decreased insulin resistance, factors linked with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In the men, fructose supplementation caused significant increases in 11 of the 12 factors, like 5% increase in fasting glucose and 71% increase in triglyceride levels. Women showed 4% increase in glucose and 16% increase in triglycerides after the high fructose diet.

Could a change of diet improve your lovelife
In her book The Orgasmic Diet, Marrena Lindberg claims most women suffering from sexual dysfunction don't need to turn to drug therapy. She says a few dietary changes are all that's needed. Through scientific research, Marrena has created a programme that she says not only boosts sex drive, but aids weight-loss, too. "In general, female sexual dysfunction is treated as a psychological problem. However, in my experience, many cases are linked to diet and nutrition." Maryon Stewart says: "In one recent study, we found 69% of the women we saw got their libido back relatively quickly with a healthy diet, supplements and an exercise regime."
