Sugar for your honey ping.

And who paid for the research?

[SpinnerWebb]

... in a study sponsored by Coca-Cola, Inc. ...

[Oberon]

Did you notice that the study specifically addressed “Sucrose drinks”? That’s sucrose as in table sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup. Just something to think about...

In a related story, french fries, doughnuts and chicken fried steak don’t cause weight gain, either.

In other words, knowing that you're drinking sugary drinks, while believing that they're harmful, might result in the derailing of a generally healthy low-fat diet".

What I want to know is, who says that "low-fat" is healthy?

When I see anything labeled with "low-xxxx", I don't consume it.

There.

My lunch plans just changed!

[La Lydia]

The best advice I can give you about your lunch plans is to skip the fries and ask for mashed potatoes and cream gravy with the chicken fried steak. It just feels better.

In a single-blind, between-subjects design, soft drinks (4 x 25cl per day; 1800 kJ sucrose sweetened versus 67 kJ aspartame sweetened)

8.5 fluid ounces, 430 Calories. Yikes, that is sweet. A typical soft drink will have about 100 Calories in that amount. Are they drinking maple syrup?

well........then the so-called soda tax is another scam to tax ya, huh? =.=

[Brett66]

Instead women took in fewer calories elsewhere in the diet, to balance the calories in the drinks.

I guess they the whole useless government grant system is alive and well in England.

[MissTed]

Daaaang! Now I’m all hungry! lol

[La Lydia]

One of the great tragedies of my life is that, where I live now, if I want chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy, I have to make it myself. Some days I just want to hop on a plane and go to Texas.

They don't as long as it's 1 french fry, 1/8th of a doughnut, and 1 oz. of chicken fried steak *grin*

[MissTed]

I can’t even remember the last time I had chicken fried steak. I think I’d end up licking the plate if it was placed in front of me now. ;o)

[La Lydia]

You are no fun. :)

Sucrose, I noted that too

When a friend from Australia was visiting, we walked through a local grocery store. She wondered what in the hell was cool-whip? I explained, she shook her head. Then we went on to corn syrup 'you serious? why don't you use sugar?' She had never seen or heard of corn syrup in foods.

She brought me over a bottle of Heinz "Big Red" tomato sauce (ketchup) made with sugar, not the other stuff. Amazing the difference in taste.

The trouble with “low-fat” versions of things is that they almost always pile on more salt to address the lack of flavor. As a result I make a lot of my own stuff now, such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.

[La Lydia]

They are not hard to make at home (said the devil).
