"Further, no difference was found in HFCS intake and total overall caloric intake in the groups given 12-h access versus 24-h access. Both groups consumed the same amount of HFCS on average (21.3 ± 2.0 kcal HFCS in 12-h versus 20.1 ± 1.6 kcal HFCS in 24 h), even though only the 12-h group showed a significant difference in body weight when compared with the control groups."
As per the author's criticism, these results are seemingly inconsistent. Why would rats with 12-h access to HFCS gain more weight while rats with 24-h access did not, when their HFCS intake was the same on average?
