Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2145914, member: 380"] Its coming from a lot of people, and all of the sudden. Perhaps a trend, perhaps not. I am not smart enough to have an answer, and I think a lot of people weighing in on this aren't smart enough to know for sure, either. I do think sugar is very bad for people, and from my very limited understanding, your body processes carbs similarly to sugar. There were a series of articles last year that caught my attention. Basically the sugar industry paid a few Harvard scientists to publish a study that exaggerated the harms of fat (especially saturated) and then the head of this study was one of the key guys establishing the food pyramid which proclaimed folks should eat 7 servings of grains (carbs) a day, or something like that. Here is a brief article.

I am not going to live a life where I deprive myself of pizza or pasta once in a while. But I can definitely say that my stomach feels far better after eliminating grains and I have a more consistent level of energy (no insulin crashes). [/QUOTE]
