Posted on November 4, 2016 by Gordon Jackson

To hear that sugary sodas may have contributed to the obesity epidemic probably would not come as much of a surprise to most people. But there are some studies that also suggest sugary drinks—like sodas—do not, in fact, cause obesity. How can that be? To have two studies on the same subject yield nearly opposite…
