This is a newly published study making major news sources:

To Improve Your Health Just Two Weeks, Cut Out High Fructose Corn Syrup Now
As a fairly new Peater (), I've had pretty good success with sugar, and have over come just a bit of anti-sugar-indoctrination based apprehension, to whole-heartily embrace the world of Peat and sugar. My only area of non-success would be some bleeding of the gums since starting. This has since stopped, but at first it did lead me to reconsider the amount of sugar I was consuming, though I don't know for certain if it was the cause.
My first thought on this study, from a limited understanding of the intricacies of Peating, is that HFCS, PUFAs, and starches are the true culprit in diabetes and obesity; and, that the success in this study is due to the reduction of HFCS in "sugar-sweetened beverages", not food-based and other supplemental sugars.
I'm sure studies like this are quite common, but it may be of interest to some.
