"Surprisingly they did not eat more calories. In fact, total caloric intake was less in the fructose group than the other groups but according to Tschop, “…they gained significantly more body fat within a few weeks.” He believes the fructose changed their metabolism in a way to promote fat storage."

True False question gives the wrong answer, I put false because of this line, correct answer according to you is True. You Kersh are wrong! Your question:

Fructose not only adds more calories but may affect metabolism in such a way to make the soda drinker into a fat storing machine!

Might want to get someone to do fact checks before you ask questions.

Very interesting that when one comsumes fructose, changes occur on a metabolic level, and not necessarily on a caloric level.

I agree with Eric in that the question is misleading. I think what Kersh meant to point out is how fructose affects one's metabolism, and that it's not necessarily a higher caloric intake that can cause higher fat storage. What I want more clarified is this: is it high fructose corn syrup that is the culprit here? Fructose is the naturally-occuring sugar in fruit, so I hope that this doens't imply that eating fruit can cause one to store more fat!

too bad cavemen didn't have fructose. They were always looking for energy!
