Abstract
This study investigated the effects of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on body fat and intestinal microbiota structure in mice. Mice consuming HFCS-containing drinking water showed significantly increased body fat and altered gut microbiome composition. The *Christensenellaceae* R-7 group showed a negative correlation with body weight and fat accumulation.
