It is well known that fructose is much more rapidly oxidized in 

 the body than glucose 1, 2> 3 and there is some evidence that it is 

 a better glycogen former. 4 Taking our blood samples at short 

 and frequent intervals we could detect a rather small but unmis- 

 takable rise of blood sugar in two fructose tests. 



In studying the effects of repeated doses of glucose we have 

 obtained results quite different from those of McLean and de
