The ‘Fructose in Schools Study’ works with secondary school science students, their teachers and whānau to explore how fructose (the most dangerous sugar in our diet) is absorbed by different people in different ways, and the effect this has on body weight and health. With University of Otago and University of Auckland members of the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery, and Health Research Council funding, this study is an opportunity for local tauira (students) to engage with research as a potential career whilst learning about their bodies and their health.
