Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This will be a randomised crossover study involving five visits on five days. On two days, 12 healthy adults will receive beverages sweetened with 50g sucrose (duplicate control). On three days participants will receive beverages sweetened with 16.7g fructose + 33.3g sucrose; 25g fructose + 25g sucrose; and 33.3g fructose + 16.7g sucrose. Beverages will be consumed on mornings after an overnight fast. The order that the beverages are given will be randomised to each participant. Blood will be sampled via cannula by a registered nurse at intervals over two-hours following consumption of the beverages. The washout will be 2-7 days between treatments. All beverages will be given under supervision to ensure they are fully consumed. The study will be run by a MSc student in Human Nutrition under the supervision of a senior lecturer in the University of Otago Clinic Rooms.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The person who will determine whether a person is eligible for inclusion in the trial will be unaware, when this decision is made, to which order the person will be allocated. Allocation concealment will be achieved with the use of sealed opaque envelopes.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A biostatistician will randomise the order of beverage type using a computerised sequence generation.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s
The people administering the treatment/s
The people assessing the outcomes
The people analysing the results/data

Statistical methods / analysis
The study will be powered to detect a 30% difference in incremental area under the curve (iAUC) between the sucrose control and the blended sugar test beverages. A difference of 30% iAUC has been associated with clinical benefit (Wolever et al, 1992). Using variability data from previous work, a sample size of 11 was adequate to detect a 30% reduction in iAUC with 80% power using the 5% level of significance. A sample of 12 was also sufficient to detect a 50% difference in uric acid AUC between control and test beverages. Blood pressure was a secondary outcome and the study was not powered for this factor.

A mixed effects regression model will be used to determine if there are any significant differences between the sucrose control and the glycemic and uricaemic responses to the test beverages. The model will be adjusted for treatment order. Uric acid concentrations are sex dependent, therefore the uric acid data will also be adjusted for sex.
