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...

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.

Why? Do you think the calorie content per gram is different between HFCS and sucrose?

This study was done in Britain. They don't use much HFCS in their foods and beverages. That's probably why they didn't address HFCS. Not that it matters anyway.

That is because the study was done in the UK where they don't use HFCS or any other kind of corn syrup. It is a challenge to make a good pecan pie there.
