Carbs aren’t dangerous. Lots of carbs and no exercise is bad. But that’s on the person who considers doritos a meal.
It’s the combination of high carbs and high fat, that is the worst.
Carbs also keep you hungry throughout the day.

Perhaps one can compare carbs to cigarettes. Lots of cigarettes is definitely bad, and people can and often do get hooked on them. But others can smoke them regularly for a week, and stop cold for months, if not forever...for them cigarettes aren’t bad. And others can smoke heavy for decades and never have any bad health effects.
So, like with carbs, cigarettes aren’t bad for everyone. But carbs are bad for close to half of the people (those overweight and worse), and that number is skyrocketing...so it would seem reasonable that our government should note that and tell people they need to cut back on carbs - but my point is that they’re paralyzed by the special interests, so we watch the numbers of obese/diabetic people grow and grow, while doing nothing about it.
