Not exactly the same thing as non-caloric, granted; but not all of the concern over what we are eating and drinking is necessarily a grasp for grant money, or liberal fear-mongering.
If you have concerns with Sears, please, post a link for me -- I've found the biochem in "The Zone Diet" to be legit.
Cheers!
Even though sucrose and HFCS are made up of the same two chemicals? What are the "legitimate" concerns you see? Rather than send me through more than a hundred posts and all sorts of links why not share your concerns here and I'll be glad to respond.

Not all research is driven only by grant money. I never said that. However, far too much research today is junk and is driven by the quest for money. Researchers are under a tremendous amount of pressure to obtain grant money.
I've seen Sears call three fatty acids "hormones" including arachidonic acid. The only way you could determine whether or not this idea is based on good research would be to study the available research on these three fatty acids that he calls hormones; and find out what evidence there is for the physiological effects he claims. He's never managed to offer the research supporting his conclusions. In my day, there was no evidence that arachidonic acid had hormonal activity. Maybe that's changed but we'll never know it from Barry.
