I’m surprised the article didn’t mention the study on obesity in rats.

Two groups of rats were given unlimited access to sweetened water with identical caloric content per millilitre, one group receiving water sweetened with cane sugar, the other with high fructose corn syrup. The corn syrup group became morbidly obsese, while the sugar group maintained normal weight. What is more, upon autopsy, it was found that some, at least, of the corn syrup fed rats had scarring in their livers.

These studies are bogus. Most of the time, the consumption is a zillion times the norm. If you consume anything to excess all the time, yes, you will develop health problems.

The key is moderation and reasonable portion sizes.

"Do you have the site reference from where that information is found?"

Interesting. It might underscore the reason why when I was in Europe, it was impossible to find soft drinks with corn syrup added. Why would Europeans do such a thing as restrict corn syrup additives without scientific reasons.

Yes and the ones allowed to eat all the peanut butter they wanted got cancer. Useless study.

The corn syrup group became morbidly obsese, while the sugar group maintained normal weight.

If the sucrose group was eating more calories than expending, they too would gain fat.

Which rats consumed the most liquid? You forgot that part.

[Mr. Silverback]

Cite the study, please.

Cancer cells slurp up fructose, US study finds

Study shows fructose used differently from glucose

* Findings challenge common wisdom about sugars

WASHINGTON Aug 2 (Reuters) - Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom that all sugars are the same.

Tumor cells fed both glucose and fructose used the two sugars in two different ways, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.

They said their finding, published in the journal Cancer Research, may help explain other studies that have linked fructose intake with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest cancer types.

You should post facts NOT false propaganda ...
