high-carb foods increase risk of type 2 diabetes. news at 9.
- Arbalest 7y agoI don't think it is fair to say high-carb as a blanket increases the risk. Our diets are supposed to be 50% carbs. Just not the type of carbs found in these products. I think the culprits are the relatively simple carbs (or sugars) which are not intertwined with various less digestible fibres.
- porknubbins 7y agoI think you might be able to go further and say carbs or without without fiber themselves are not necessarily bad in the absence of excess calories/overweight condition. Look at Japan or France where they consume relatively large amounts of white rice or white flour but lower calories and they have about half the diabetes of the US.

- Shorel 7y ago> Our diets are supposed to be 50% carbs. No, they don't. We are very adaptable in that respect. The issue is we depend on our intestinal bacterial populations to help digest food, and we can't change diet too fast, we need to give time to the bacteria to adapt. I stopped eating more than 10% of carbs and if I eat too much of them now then I don't feel well until next day.
- asdf21 7y ago>Our diets are supposed to be 50% carbs. Please don't lump everyone together like that. Some folks do better on low carb, some folks do better on very high carb, everyone has different gut bacteria, different digestive enzyme efficiencies, and so on.
- chillwaves 7y agoThe carbs are stripped of fiber and nutrients, which make them even more dangerous. Your comment is dismissive of what we are still learning. Dietary science struggles, this comment does not help.
