A recent study found that glucose significantly decreases activity in hunger-related brain cells in mice, while fructose has a much weaker effect. The research also showed that high-fructose corn syrup triggered a stronger brain response and was preferred by the animals. These findings highlight how different sugars impact appetite regulation and food preferences.
