Ants consistently prefer sugary foods over protein.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that ants consistently prefer sugary foods over protein?

Unclear. One study of two ant species found both favoured sucrose over other sugars and that colonies prioritize carbohydrate supplies, and a learning study used sucrose as a positive reinforcer. Neither tests a general sugar-versus-protein preference across ants, so the evidence only partially supports the claim.
