Three-soda-a-day sugar habit could be toxic

It’s hard to believe, I know, but a three-soda-a-day sugar habit could be toxic:

Researchers found that male mice fed a diet with 25 percent extra sugar — equivalent to about an additional three cans of soda a day in humans — were less likely to defend their territory and reproduce, while female mice on the same diet died at twice the normal rate.

Oddly, they didn’t get fat.
