You're wrong grasshopper.

Elevated levels of blood glucose leads to weight gain, diabetes and eventual tissue damage. High glycemic foods cause a spike in said blood glucose. It's a proven fact. It's not just a well accepted scientific observation, it's also a personal observation. Millions of diabetics know this, why don't you?

Eating too many carbs is what makes a person fat.

Strong response disregarding posted clinical studies proving the opposite of what your saying...I'll keep staying trim eating lots of carbs even right before bed (carb ferry hasnt found my house yet). I stopped reading your above link when the author said eating a potato is the same or worse as 10 tsp. of sugar, I dont read nutrional wishful mythology.

Aunty something to learn about - de novo lipogenesis (the metabolic pathway where carbs are converted to fat) is an extremely inefficient one, and requires massive amounts of carbs consumed for consecutive days during hypercaloric conditions for any measurable DNL to occur. This is even in the absence of exercise, among overweight/deconditioned individuals. This brings us back to total caloric balance being the master dictator of whether net fat gain occurs over time - or not.

Leaving thread to go eat carbs.
