As a consequence of the rapid and efficient utilization
of fructose, it has been used widely for intravenous feeding in
medicine and surgery. However, it has been shown that the rapid
infusion of large amounts of fructose may cause the accumulation of
lactic acid in the extracellular fluid. The possibility of lactate
acidosis, with concomitant impairment of the acid-base balance,
already disturbed, constitutes a relative contraindication to the
use of intravenous fructose in the treatment of diabetic
ketoacidosis. Fructose is known to accelerate ethanol metabolism in
the liver. No well-documented reports on the use of fructose in the
treatment of ethanol intoxication have been published, although it
has recently been suggested that fructose might be of value in the
treatment of delirium tremens. Fructose may be less cariogenic than
sucrose, at least in short-term experiments. Long-term trials are
lacking, and thus the potential advantages of fructose in
preventive odontology have not been determined. Fructose does not
seem to have any side effects when used in reasonable amounts.
However, it has been reported that the administration of fructose
in large amounts induces hyperlipidemia both in men and in
experimental animals. Earlier suggestions concerned with the
atherogenic properties of fructose have recently been challenged.
The apparent increase in the incidence of coronary disease among
sucrose users seems to be a statistical artifact, caused by the
increased ingestion of coffee and soft drinks by cigarette
smokers.
