This is pretty pathetic, at least if honestly reported. (A heavily reported study’s claim to show harmful effects from high-fructose corn syrup in rats is based on ambiguous, irrelevant, or statistically insignificant experimental results.)
I’m reading the paper now, and I see in the “Methods” section:
We selected these schedules to allow comparison of intermittent and continuous access, as our previous publications show limited (12 h) access to sucrose precipitates binge-eating behavior (Avena et al., 2006).
which the author of the blog post apparently does not acknowledge. I’ll grant that the study may be overblown, but it is not as obviously flawed as I believe the blogger suggested.
