When rats are drinking high-fructose corn syrup at levels well below those in soda pop, they’re becoming obese — every single one, across the board. Even when rats are fed a high-fat diet, you don’t see this; they don’t all gain extra weight.”  -

This goes back to earlier speculation that HFCS consumption is somehow is linked to obesity.  Researchers then backpedaled on the idea, so I am curious where this will lead.   Regardless, watch your intake of HFCS!
