  1. This study is flawed in so many way. Shame on you IBJ for publishing such non-sense. Maltodextrin has an extremely high caloric value. 1oz (or roughly 3 table spoons) is 106 calories. It is extremely soluble, so 3-4oz could easily be mixed into any drink with hardly any detection. That’s a possibility of an additional 3-400 calories per drink. The study doesn’t say the caloric value of each 3 groups. Of course people gained weight if consuming more calories than what is needed for their maintenance level based on activity level. That is how the body works!!!

  2. A better story would have been the highly processed foods such as the Impossible Whopper. Everyone things they’re somehow better for all parties involved because they’re plant-based. In terms of what highly processed foods do to the human body, you’d be just as well off to eat bags of Doritos and 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew. The magazines Discover and Scientific American both carried stories which boil down to, “a calorie is not a calorie”; specifically, you can take two nutritional labels from two foods and even if they are identical, the effects each of the foods can be radically different. A highly processed food will cause your body to convert even healthy foods into fat. Bottom line: all of those plant burgers are going to cause your body to convert otherwise healthy foods into fat.
    .
    And speaking of plant-based foods, those ads for “plant butter”? Isn’t that what margarine is?
