...similar amounts of glucose. In the study, 32 overweight or obese men and women were randomly assigned to drink 25% of their daily energy requirements in either fructose- or glucose-sweetened drinks.

Eighteen months later, on April 22, four young men - three Germans and one Turkish national - are going on trial in Dusseldorf, charged with conspiring to commit murder, plotting to launch explosive attacks and membership of a terrorist organization, the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU). With over 200 witnesses, the trial is scheduled to last up to two years...
