"In a last ditch effort to lose weight, roughly 113,000 people subject
themselves to bariatric surgeries such as stomach banding and gastric
bypass every year in the United States. But some of those patients may
be trading pounds for an alcohol problem, according to a new study
presented today at the annual meeting of the American Society for
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in San Diego, and published by the
Journal of the American Medical Association."

I wonder at causation versus correlation. Sugar and alcohol are both
addictive. Ho wmany of these people, freed from sugar addiction, moved
on to the next addiction in line. As such I do not consider this
damning news.

Damning? No.

Worrisome? Yes.
