Sir, with respect, you are mistaken about this. Different substances have different biochemical effects within our bodies. Check out the video linked in Post 16, which is long and discusses the biochemistry, or this brief, popular, simplified version.

I appreciate your take and with all do respect to you, even though I understand biochemical effects affect the body mass and storage, this still does not negate the FACT of caloric intake vs burn. If your heart is beating you are burning calories.
If you take in more calories some part of your body's girth will expand.
Sorry, can't watch vidoe, still in dino-dialup mode living in the stix!
