"Consuming fructose-sweetened, not glucose-sweetened, beverages
increases visceral adiposity and lipids and decreases insulin
sensitivity in overweight/obese humans"

Abstract and whole study at above URL.


which is yet another good reason not to fill a baby/toddler up with

Did not read whole article but should apply also to sucrose, regular
