This is sloppy reporting due to vague use of terms. The last paragraph of the article specifies that the “sugar” used in the experiment was HFCS. There’s a growing body of evidence that HFCS is far more dangerous to the body than sucrose (because it’s in essence “predigested” and hits the bloodstream like a runaway train). The vague term “sugar” makes the reader think “table sugar”; no inference about table sugar can be drawn without specific testing.
