Oh yeah, I’d have to agree with that too.

During the time of my abusing soft drinks, I was a very fat dude...bloated even.

Red,

Interesting study, but several issues jump out.

I noticed that the specific calorie count of sugar water consumed versus corn sweetened water consumed is not reported.

If it was not identical, that should be reported in highlights.

I personally prefer the taste of corn sweetener.

Perhaps rats do, too, and drink more of it?

Most important, I can't imagine a medical study that would be cheaper or simpler to replicate in humans than this one.

Has anyone tested this theory on humans?
