These weren't students, but professors. Although they used google when evidence was not available in the medical literature the sugar myth is backed by 12 double blinded randomized controlled trials and the others are legitimate sources as well. It is interesting to see how people react when their commonly held beliefs are questioned. Trying to match anecdotal evidence to population based scientific research. Even MDs fall into this trap.

I found out myself about the myth that eating before you go to bed adds on weight. This is only true if you are adding on additional calories as most actually would. But as long as one is taking in their alotted amount and no more, it does not matter when you consume them nor does it matter in how many or few meals you consume them.
After realizing this, I consumed most of my daily calories in one sitting right before bed. It allowed me to finally lose the 120 lbs I needed to lose..

Wow. I was worried and a little bit stressed about getting back into college for a master's degree. But now I have hope, aparently you can be an academic and get published now days just by searching on google and not finding enough evidence to support someone else's hypothesis. Thank God. I'll be looking into this university in Indiana - maybe I can get a masters in 3 weeks.

Three Mile Island nuclear accident was white-washed the same way. The big players in this debacle avoided the bullets by shipping the kids with leukemia to hospitals in other states to keep the records clean near the fallout zone. A study conducted by our wonderful EPA by a bunch of human cockroaches, showed no significant increases in radiation exposure injuries. The researchers didn't break the rules, they just worked around them. A friend who photographed the scene died in Iowa City, so Pennsylvania didn't take the hit. Iowa City has a large medical center and bone marrow transplant unit. If Iowa was required to ship the statistics back to the origin, Three Mile Island would have been second only to the Chernobyl hell.
