Perhaps an equally important question is whether the findings are applicable to human teenagers who may be taking in a lot of sugar in the way of soda, juice, and energy drinks. Kanoski says they absolutely are. “The relevance to human teens, in my opinion, is based on the fact that 1) in our studies we used sugar-sweetened beverages with sugar concentrations that are comparable to those commonly consumed by humans, and 2) sugar-sweetened beverages consumption in the U.S. has risen dramatically in the past 30 years (particularly in children), and 3) rodents are an excellent model for human feeding behavior.”
