Sugar Does Not Cause Fat Kids???

This is the absolute type of nonsense research that the sugar industry is funding. This makes about as much sense as saying smoking cigarettes does not cause cancer.

To add insult to injury the unscrupulous researcher who authored this nonsense study was appointed to a federal panel that will decide whether the government's dietary guidelines should include limits on how much sugar Americans consume.

Does anyone care to guess what the recommendation of this "expert" will be?
