Remember your body treat refined carbs as a sugar in a sense. Now read below

After doing some research i found something that may help motivate the low carb crowd.

It would seem 100 years ago(not that long in human time) the average person consumed 1 pound of sugar per year. Today the average person consumes 170 lbs of sugar per year. No wonder we are fat. The majority of this sugar is found already packaged into the food we eat. So called diet included.

Something to think about for sure.

I recommend you all do some reading on how insuline works in our body. You'll quickly see how the major food companies out there are misleading us.

WOW!!

We,, i dont think anyone's trying to tell us that lots of refined carbs is a good thing.

Its a whole different argument than whether we should completely avoid wholegrains and low GI carbs or not though.

Jachut

Wholegrains and low GI foods>> have to read the labels. We have breads here in Canada that claim to be healthy and wholegrain. When you read the labels they are 150 calories a slice and made with refined white flour then have whole grains added. They also add surgar in the form of honey or molassess because most people will not eat a true whole grain bread.
