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...

[La Lydia]

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.

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?

[cranked]

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.

[HeadOn]

PULEEZE... Who doesn’t know if they are drinking real or artificially sweetened drinks? I can tell if there is one grain of that artificial crap in a gallon... (hyperbole off)

[SunkenCiv]

sugary drinks, consumed in moderate quantities, do not promote weight gain, carbohydrate craving or adverse mood effects in overweight women when they do not know what they are drinking

Of course, the study was carried out by overweight women scientists.
