Dr Eades picked up the paper and made the following comments in his newsletter:

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago in The Arrow, I always like to look at anything biological through the lens of evolution a la Theodosius Dobzhansky. What can we find if we analyze this paper from that perspective?
Well, for one thing, when and where do we find fructose in large quantities in the wild? How about in the Autumn when the fruit and berries all ripen? Might that be a time when animals are fattening up to make it through the winter or even hibernation? If so, then perhaps natural selection endowed mammals with the ability to increase absorption of food in the presence of fructose.
Do I know this is a fact? No. But it does make sense looking at it through the lens of evolution. If it is true, then it might help explain why when people consume large amounts of fructose in soft drinks and processed foods all year long they end up gaining weight.

Not sure if this link to the full newsletter will work (I can't find them on the net).
