My goodness. Drinking sugar-laden soft drinks makes us fat. That expensive scientific research just keeps hitting us with shocking news:
Americans have sipped and slurped their way to fatness by drinking far more soda and other sugary drinks over the last four decades, a new scientific review concludes.
An extra can of soda a day can pile on 15 pounds in a single year, and the "weight of evidence" strongly suggests that this sort of increased consumption is a key reason that more people have gained weight, the researchers say.
I've been working on this related theory that obesity might be caused by taking in more calories than the body can use. Give me a dew thousand bucks, and I'll prove it to you.

That's crazy talk. You mean to say that if calories-out don't rougly match calories-in, you'll probably gain weight? Madness. Next you'll be pushing phrenology.
Leo, you've got to think a LOT bigger (no pun intended)...
Apply for a few FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANT for your research.
And don't forget to toss in the "lack of exercise" thing to compliment the caloric intake vs. body usage argument.
(Ho-Hos anyone?)
