Scientists still trying to figure out how added sugar affects your health

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.
