Carbohydrates Make You Fat, and Perhaps Sick

Nope.

Carbs do NOT make you fat. Too many Calories do.

Nope.

Carbs do not make you sick. Stupid reporters cum diet gurus do.

"In a world of fad diets and ever-changing ideas on how to get thin, Gary Taubes is not just another diet guru but a journalist who has covered science for the past 30 years."

Taubes is more than a diet guru, he is a journalist who has apparently squandered the last 30 years.

And a moron.

"Taubes said that after rereading years of scientific research, he has found proof that for the last half century, science has just gotten it wrong: It's not fat that is making Americans fat, he said, it is the base of the food pyramid, the complex carbohydrates, foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes. It's the starches we were told we needed that make us pudgy."

It is a 100% impossibility to become "pudgy," assuming this term is used for any level of overweight, in the absence of excess Calories.

Impossible.

"It's simple chemistry, said Taubes. Carbs spike insulin. Insulin creates sugar. And sugar packs on the pounds."

Nope.

Excess Calories pack on pounds.

It is simply that Taubes is an idiot.

Do not listen to this yet another fool.
