Not that anyone on this forum would necessarily find this surprising, but I found this particularly interesting:
"All sugars are not equal - even though they contain the same amount of calories - because they are metabolized differently in the body."
At some point the "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" crowd might want to acknowledge that our bodies react differently to different types of calories. The type of calories we consume is important for weight loss and health, not simply the amounts.
As always the tittles are misleading.... The study didn't look at overeating, instead it looked at activation patterns in the brain. Whether or not the difference in activation patterns would result in overeating isn't demonstrated. Also, this study is looking at refined sugars (added to a drink!), not naturally occurring sugars in whole foods. There are a number of studies that show that refined sugars can spur overeating, same goes with fats. So perhaps refined sugar products that are higher in fructose (e.g., high fructose corn syrup) are worse than those that have more glucose, but you really shouldn't be consuming refined sugars in the first place....
Isn't sweetsurprise.com a website created by the corn industry to promote its highly processed nutritionally void sugar product (high fructose corn syrup)?
