Hi Sascha, the best work in this context that I've seen so far is Sven Bergman's master thesis: "Sugar - Not necessarily unhealthy": http://dimeb.informatik.uni-bremen.de/documents/Sugar-Not_necessarily_unhealthy.pdf
By the way, what is the focus of your thesis? I've recently restarted a dormant thesis project myself and would of course love to avoid too much overlap (esp. since Sven's thesis is basically *exactly* what I had planned to do;-).
