Carbs (starches/sugars) are the triggers for inflammation and putting stress on your arteries. your body has to go into overdrive to deal with the massive amount of sugars being dumped into your blood so fast otherwise it could kill you, thats why your body dumps out a bunch of insulin to turn the sugar into fats quickly because your muscles get saturated with glucose but they can hardly take it all in in the necessary timeframe to keep you alive. so it stores it in fat to deal with at a later date.

there has to be more to it than this because sugars/starxhes are inflammatory and artery damaging.

Seriously hypoglycemic here and carbs are the devil, for me.

Pretty much an obligate carnivore now so I hope this is BS.

It's all so confusing. Whenever a new finding is made, there's a diet fad that takes it to the extreme. Besides that, not all bodies have the same dietary needs.

For me, it seems that having one or two high fiber 100% whole grain servings a day, which don't have any added gluten, works just fine.
