Yes, I read that as well. But the last time I check deriving benefit from the pain or at least discomfort of others is sociopath 101.
It would be foolish to buy into this usefulness of this study without gaining an understanding of the long term effects.
That is, one soda per week...not so bad. One or two per day and before you know it you're packing on pounds.

Sociopaths do not enjoy the suffering of others, they simply do not care about it and therefore do not consider it in their actions.
