Abstract
I MUST apologize for having misquoted Miss Betts in my article in Nature of May 13. Her optimum figure for maximum sugar intake is 56 per cent, not 40, and incidentally is nearly independent of temperature. My conclusion is not affected. It is interesting to note that for a given concentration she established that the sugar intake is roughly doubled between 15° C. and 25° C. and follows roughly a linear law over a wider temperature range. The optimum concentration is nearly independent of temperature.
