Good post. The idea of a metabolic setpoint (you can google that term) has been around for a while. I discovered it when researching diet sodas and their effects on the body. There is some suspicion that diet sodas, while not directly adding calories, impact the metabolic setpoint and make it harder for people to lose weight. That's in addition to just tricking the body into thinking it's about to receive sugar.

very interesting! thanks for info
soda is very useful for many purposes but i know nothing about drinking it
Research has shown that the diet-induced thermogenesis is decreased when sodas are consumed with meals. Or in other words the metabolic efficiency goes down. I wrote some posts about it if you're interested.
