Is it just me or are the images and text contradictory?
The text of this article says that the drink was, in reality, 62 grams of sugar and portrayed via the label as either 0 grams or 124 grams.
However, the image of the nutritional label shows the actual drink was 15 grams (but 62 calories) or 30 grams (124 calories).
Which is it?
124 grams of sugar doesn't pass the sniff test for anyone who is passing familiar with the basic fact there are 35-40 grams of sugar in a 12-oz can of soda. Was this noticed or not? Were questions asked whether people had a sense of how much sugar (or calories) are in a soda? Did people perceive they were getting a extremely-high-sugar beverage (124g) or a low-sugar beverage (30g)? Does that affect the psychological dynamics in a material way?
I am a little disappointed in the quality of peer review coming out of Nature here...
