Yes and no. Look, we've danced all around the topic but we've never come down to the bottom line.

It doesn't matter if it's from carbs, protein, or fat. All the focus on low fat, low carbs, low this, low that is missing the point.

If you take in less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.

Now, when you're drinking the high fructose corn syrup that ADM produces in your super big gulp, how many calories is that? About 1,000? That's about half of the daily recommended caloric intake.

That's the problem. The high fructose corn syrup is part of the problem, but people consuming too much of it is the main problem.
