Foods uptakes and Body Mass Index BMI of healthy young and old men were measured by self-administered questionnaires. Blood samples were taken at fasting times and levels of various plasma parameters were measured. There were no correlations between sucrose and sweet beverage uptakes and BMI or fasting blood glucose levels. No correlations were found between sucrose and sweet beverage uptakes and TG (triglycerides) or Low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels. Total amino acids, total non-essential amino acids, and total essential amino acids levels decreased in young men, who took more sucrose and sweet beverage. BMI significantly increased in young and old men whose insulin levels were high. There were no correlations between BMI or plasma parameters and the amount of energy, protein, lipid or carbohydrate uptakes. These results may suggest that in healthy non-obese young and old men sucrose and sweet beverage uptakes are not related to increase in BMI and any particular kind of food uptake is not related to increase in BMI.
