That's what I thought too.
Given the fact that most people and nearly all organisms tend to stay at the same weight provided they aren't eating calorie dense foods,there's a powerful yet subtle mechanism going on. Also, in the history of mankind we've never had sweet tasting foods that didn't have calories. But at the same time, such foods were only temporarily available. So gorging on those foods was logical and not really harmful since after all, they were only temporarily available.
It makes sense that things go awry when you eat foods that taste sweet.. it induces overfeeding.
For the record, I'm really digging sweetened omelettes and coffee. But I don't have more than one or 2 of either in a day.
