""SugarScience shows that a calorie is not a calorie but rather that the source of a calorie determines how it's metabolized," said pediatric endocrinologist Robert Lustig, a member of the SugarScience team and the author of "Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease." Lustig said that more than half of the U.S. population is sick with metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and liver disease that are directly related to the excessive consumption of added sugars in the Western diet."

"Sugar science is really about getting what we know out of the medical journals and into the public awareness. As we've seen, rising rates of obesity and metabolic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, the science around sugar and health has really taken off. We're thinking about things in very different ways than we used to. We used to just think about sugar as extra calories, something that was making us fat.

And more and more scientists are starting to realize that sugar in the kind of quantities that Americans are consuming it on average is making us sick. And no one had really surveyed the literature. And nobody for sure had taken that information and tried to share it with the American public."

A team of scientists at University of California San Francisco hopes to educate the public about all the effects of sugar, its different forms and where it is lurking They've launched a new website called SugarScience.org.
