A comment on Soda May Age You as Much as Smoking. Parent comment
* The study was done on rats
* n=9/group
* They used fructose/glucose from a laboratory supplier, not HFCS from a supplier used by food manufacturers
* They fed the rats 100% starch/fructose+glucose/honey and vitamins (real people have varied diets)
The conclusions you should draw are that A) eating a diet of 100% HCFS is probably a bad thing (duh) and B) honey has antioxidants.
So if you replace your HFCS with honey, you don't need to get as many antioxidants from other sources.
Were they to control for antioxidant content, this study might be a bit more interesting.
