Cutting down on sugar leads to small weight loss.

The Los Angeles Times (1/15) reports in its “Booster Shots” health blog that according to research published online in the British Medical Journal, people who “cut down on added sugars in their diets lost an average of about 1.7 pounds – a result researchers called small but significant.”  Comment: this is another study that should never have been published as all it does is identify a statistical outcome that has no clinical value in the real world.
