In this one, daily consumed beverages consisted of either pure fructose or sucrose for 7 weeks increased basal hepatic fatty acid synthesis comparably with the LDL particle distribution shifting towards smaller, more atherogenic particles.

But wait, there's more!
a) There was a pure glucose group as well. An increased hepatic FA synthesis was not observed in this group.
b) Unexpectedly, fructose and sucrose increased basal hepatic FA synthesis comparably.

c) SSB consumption (with ad libitum meals) influenced absolute macronutrient intake (i.e. decreased fat and protein intake) but did not increase total energy intake.
d) Other features of the metabolic syndrome, i.e. fasting hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, peripheral/adipose tissue insulin resistance were not observed.
