General Mills
There was no need to look for that.
It's already acknowledged in Dr Jacobs's editorial.

Sugar-sweetened soft drinks seem to be the real culprit, according to
that study on fast-food goers in Spain.
The link between an increased consumption of soda pops and weight gain
was 1.6, while it was 1.2 for other fast-food items (hamburgers,
pizza, and sausages).
"In the participants who had gained ≥3 kg in the 5 y before
baseline, the adjusted odds ratio of subsequent weight gain for the
fifth quintile compared with the first quintile of sugar-sweetened
soft drink consumption was 1.6 (95% CI: 1.2, 2.1; P for trend =
0.02)."
[...]
"The consumption of hamburgers, pizza, and sausages (as a proxy for
fast-food consumption) was also independently associated with weight
gain (adjusted odds ratio for the fifth compared with the first
quintile = 1.2; 95% CI: 1.0, 1.4; P for trend = 0.05)."
