Re: The right calories
Any food that has high fructose corn syrup is killing you - and HFCS is found in most processed foods. You need only Google processed food to see how harmful they are.
​
It's not killing you any more so than other sugars, according to research by J.S. White (2013).

Re: The right calories
Dr. John S. White is president and founder of WHITE Technical Research, an international consulting firm located in Argenta IL, serving the food and beverage industry since 1994.

Although this does not in itself refute the scientific merit of any research conducted by the author, you do point to an interesting discovery which certainly is a strong hint that there is a conflict of interest. I was just browsing PubMed on topics related to this thread and came across this paper. You made a good point, though.
