Description:
Article Animal experiments to study the detrimental health effects of sugar usually involve far higher doses than those consumed by humans. Here, Ruff et al. show that house mice consuming comparatively low amounts of added sugar are impaired in their ability to compete for territories, reproduce and survive in a seminatural environment.
