Atreides88, the caloric value of gasoline is astounding. It's much more efficient than anything you can even get at McDonald's. But does that mean drinking 2000 calories of gasoline a day will give you the same energy as 2000 calories of a balanced diet? No? Is that because the form it comes in is unfriendly to the human body? We have trouble digesting the form the calories come in? It's the same thing, only to a less extreme degree, with unhealthy foods that have a high caloric count. So yes, it's how you digest it and it can make all the difference in the world.
