“…Results of epidemiological studies suggest that from 2001 to 2021 the total daily intake of HFCS decreased by almost 40 % from 46 g/d to 28 g/d in the USA (data from US Department of Agriculture) [ 26 ]. Despite changes in the sugar market in 2017 [ 27 ], in most European countries, HFCS is not widely used and the intake of HFCS is, compared to the USA, rather low [ 28 ]. Indeed, sucrose is still the main added sugar found in foods and beverages in Europe [ 29 ].…”

Purpose Consumption of fructose has repeatedly been discussed to be a key factor in the development of health disturbances such as hypertension, diabetes type 2, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Despite intense research efforts, the question if and how high dietary fructose intake interferes with human health has not yet been fully answered. Results Studies suggest that besides its insulin-independent metabolism dietary fructose may also impact intestinal homeostasis and barrier function. Indeed, it has been suggested by the results of human and animal as well as in vitro studies that fructose enriched diets may alter intestinal microbiota composition. Furthermore, studies have also shown that both acute and chronic intake of fructose may lead to an increased formation of nitric oxide and a loss of tight junction proteins in small intestinal tissue. These alterations have been related to an increased translocation of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) like bacterial endotoxin and an induction of dependent signaling cascades in the liver but also other tissues. Conclusion In the present narrative review, results of studies assessing the effects of fructose on intestinal barrier function and their impact on the development of health disturbances with a particular focus on the liver are summarized and discussed.

“…New technologies can appear. For instance, from 2008 onwards (white) sugar was more and more produced in the EU from isoglucose-called corn syrup in the United States-(allocated to other food-"ofd"-in the GTAP classification) rather than from sugar beet-"c_b" (Zimmer 2013). This led to lower sugar beet input coefficients in the sugar industry and higher input coefficients from other food products.…”

During the last 25 years, an increasing number of academic articles and policy reports applying input-output analysis and multisectoral modelling have used the GTAP databases. GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project) is a global network of researchers and policy-makers conducting quantitative analysis of international policy issues. GTAP's goal is to improve the quality of quantitative analysis of global economic issues within an economy-wide framework (https ://www.gtap.ageco n.purdu e.edu/). 1 Recent applications 2 span areas ranging from carbon emission and climate change (Weber and Mat

“…Changes of market regulations also envisage abolishing production quotas for isoglucose, which is currently the main substitute for sugar [Zimmer 2013]. This is a significant change in the context of competition on the sweetener market.…”

The sugar market was one of the most regulated markets in the agri-food sector in the EU, The basis of said regulation was an administrative restriction of supply (production quotas), protectionist foreign trade policies, a minimum procurement price for sugar beet and the reference price of sugar. The sugar sector in Poland has a long tradition and is of great economic social and environmental significance, as well as an important element of the food security policy. Sugar beets are characterized by the greatest productivity per area unit, and by-products are used as fodder or for energy production purposes. The sugar industry is a strategic part of the food economy. Sugar remains the main sweetener, despite the development of the starch syrup and low-calorific sweetener markets. The social importance of the sector results from the fact that sugar beet production remains the source of income for planters, and the sugar industry and numerous service providers create both national income and jobs. Sugar beet cultivations are a crucial element of the sustainable development of agriculture as they increase biodiversity and maintain agricultural land in good condition. Abolishing production quotas will result in big changes in the sugar sector, which in turn will have multiple economic, social and environmental effects. Accounting for international conditions, including competition from cane sugar and obligations resulting from trade contracts, it is assessed that the sugar balance may undergo significant changes. Under the changing external conditions, the foreign trade policies and international economic relations will have a very significant impact on the situation of the domestic sugar sector. Situational development in the sugar sector should include two basic elements: changes in the EU market after the market regulations reform and changes in the economic situation on the international market, and foreign trade conditions. The significant economic social and environmental importance indicates that future policy with regards to the sector should include solutions which will allow to maintain sugar beet cultivation and sugar production at least in the most effective and competitive regions of the country.
