Carbohydartes are NOT poison....

...in spite of what the food faddists and faux "nutritionists" say.
The ability of plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using radiant energy from the sun (photosynthesis) is the most important chemical reaction in the world. The only form in which we can properly absorb carbon from our diet and use it to assemble the proteins that make us carbon-based life forms is, in fact, glucose. The inability to properly utilize glucose at the cellular level results in one of the most devastating of all disease--diabetes mellitus (which is NOT "caused" by eating too much sugar). Like all nutrients, glucose is best utilized through the processes that have evolved over millions of years, and if these are not overwhelmed (as they are with the ingestion of too many calories) or poisoned (as with alcohol), they work smoothly and efficiently to convert the chemical energy of glucose into the kinetic and heat energy that fuels life. Treat carbohydrates well and they will be good to and FOR you.
