No. Excess calories make you fat, not any one particular food or nutrient. Add excess calories and insufficient exercise, and you have a recipe for an overweight nation.

a) “Increased energy intake appears to be more than sufficient to explain weight gain in the US population.”

c) “Among free living people involving ad libitum diets, intake of free sugars or sugar sweetened beverages is a determinant of body weight.
