Why? Because studies show that <a href=\"http:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/content\/95\/3\/587.full\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">liquid calories<\/a> may not be \u201cseen\u201d or \u201cregistered\u201d by the human body and thus may not contribute to satiety. As a consequence, we tend to over-consume liquid calories which leads to weight gain.
