Well, yes but no. That's the whole point of this discussion: how considering calories with sugar intake alone doesn't completely explain the obesity pandemic. Eating too much food never made most people that fat for such a long period of time, until the industrial food revolution that happened in the last 45 years. The real culprit for this obesity pandemic was introduced in our diet only about 45 years ago. Emulsifiers like lecithins should be looked at very seriously, along with other recent history additives.
