Each participant consumed a specially formulated high-fat drink made from heavy cream, chocolate syrup, sugar, and powdered milk.

How do they know that the chocolate syrup and the sugar aren't the problem?

That immediately jumped out at me as well.

They gave these men basically a chocolate milk shake and skipped taking into account the sugar in the analysis.

And if this was standard off the shelf chocolate syrup it contains high sucrose corn syrup, the worst for your health form of sugar.

What happens to the gut when sugar is detected? It doesn't digest the food until the sugar is sequestered. What does that do for this experiment? Invalidates any facts about fat. But you make a good demonstration of what sugar does to you.
